    "content": "Generals who served in the 10th Parliament was one time told by a Member that he was the most incompetent Attorney-General in the Commonwealth after he answered a Question. That Attorney-General has now retired. Every time I meet him, he reminds me of what happened in the 10th Parliament. It is not good to harass chairpersons here. We want CSs here. If the CS was here, the Professor would have told him that what he said was wrong and the Speaker would have directed the CS - because he would be a Member of Parliament - to go to that constituency and verify whether what he was saying is true. I remember it happened one time when Hon. Chris Obure, the then Minister for Public Works, was asked a Question by Hon. Zakayo Cheruiyot. Hon. Cheruiyot said that the building the Minister was talking about did not exist on the ground. The Speaker directed the Minister to go to the ground. When the Minister came back, he said he was lied to by his technical staff. The Member was right. We are in a catch 22 situation. The Member has been given an answer. I agree it might not be what is on the ground. Next time we get an opportunity to reform the Constitution, at least, 50 per cent of the Cabinet must be Members of Parliament. I have not finished."
