Therefore, Kingi informed the senators that the CS would not be able to appear in the House to answer questions relating to her docket.

"I had a phone call discussion with the PS in that Ministry. The CS had undergone eye surgery I think three days ago. By yesterday, she was very much willing to come," Kingi told the senators.

"This morning she woke up with a swollen eye that she cannot even see."

Consequently, the speaker informed the House that the questions directed to the CS would be handled on another day.
