    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect, if anyone of you has served in the Government, which I had the privilege of serving, you have two ways of signing a document. If you are not available, you authorize your name to be put there as the substantive office holder and somebody signs or initials on your name. That person takes responsibility. In this case, it is written “Anne Waiguru.” It is not just “the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning.” If it is written “Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning,” you could say that it is not signed by the Cabinet Secretary. But when an individual has initialed on behalf of that substantive office holder, I do not think we have any reasons to challenge it. If there is anything that comes out of it, that person will be held responsible by the Cabinet Secretary. So, I do not think we really need to split hairs on this matter. That is the procedure in Government. Let us bring this matter to a close."
