内罗毕消息，参议院道路、交通与住房常设委员会已向旅游与野生动物内阁秘书Rebecca Miano发出传票，要求其于8月4日出席委员会听证会，此前她拒绝了当面出席的要求。\n\n按计划，Miano本应于周四出席由米戈里郡参议员Eddy Oketch主持的委员会会议，就博马斯国际会议综合体（BICC）重建项目的进展情况回答质询，包括合同变更、审批、报告和项目规划等。\n\n然而，在2026年7月17日致参议院秘书转交委员会的一封信函中，Miano表示，委员会4月16日信函中所提及的问题已在旅游部4月28日的回复中得到了全面阐述。她同时请求重新安排会议时间。\n\n委员会拒绝了这一请求，并指出是议会而非内阁秘书来决定证人提交的答复是否令人满意。\n\n关注我们的WhatsApp和LinkedIn频道获取最新头条\n\n霍马湾郡参议员Moses Kajwang说：“决定所提供的信息是否充足不是证人的职责。内阁秘书试图暗示她已经提供了足够的信息，因此不应被传唤到委员会面前。这与《宪法》第125条以及《议会权力与特权法》是不符的。内阁秘书必须明白他们是在为人民服务。”\n\n委员会主席Eddy Oketch表示，Miano的回应表现出他所称的对议会礼节的漠视，导致委员会别无选择，只能发出正式传票。\n\nOketch表示：“这种回应的性质以及对她此前出席该委员会时所给予的礼节的漠视，使得发出传票成为必要。进行有意义对话的唯一途径就是发出传票。这样她才会明白委员会面前这件事的分量以及各方所提出的关切。”

原文原文 / Original Text

Nairobi — The Senate Standing Committee on Roads, Transport and Housing has summoned Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano to appear before it on August 4, after she delined to appear in person.

CS Miano had been scheduled to appear before the committee, chaired by Migori Senator Eddy Oketch, on Thursday to respond to questions on the status of the Bomas International Convention Complex (BICC) redevelopment project, including contract variations, approvals, reports and project planning.

However, in a letter dated July 17, 2026, addressed to the committee through the Clerk of the Senate, Miano said the issues raised in the committee's April 16 letter had already been comprehensively addressed in the Ministry's response dated April 28. She also requested that the meeting be rescheduled.

The committee rejected the request, arguing that it was Parliament--not the Cabinet Secretary--that determines whether responses submitted by witnesses are satisfactory.

"It is not the duty of a witness to decide whether the information presented is adequate. That is what the CS is trying to imply--that she has provided enough information and therefore should not be called before the committee. That is inconsistent with Article 125 and the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act. Cabinet Secretaries must know that they serve the people," said Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang'.

Committee Chairperson Eddy Oketch said Miano's response demonstrated what he described as a disregard for parliamentary courtesy, leaving the committee with no option but to issue a formal summons.

"The nature of the response and the disregard for the courtesy extended to her when she previously appeared before this committee warrants the issuance of a summons. The only way to have a meaningful conversation is if we issue a summons. Then she will understand the weight of this matter before the committee and the concerns being raised," Oketch said.
