    "content": "there are no CSs in the House. They always say that choices have consequences. You now see the consequences. As you lament, I have sympathy with your lamentation because of what used to happen in the past, in the former dispensation. Answers were given in real time. Today, many Kenyans think that you are not doing anything because you ask Questions and you get those kind of responses. On the other hand, chairpersons of committees cannot come here and start committing themselves about things that are out there. Just as the Member for Mvita has said, a Statement was read and he says that it was not satisfactory and several Members have said the same thing. But what do you do? It is the governance structure that you gave yourselves that is to blame. So, you live with it until such a time, as you say, perhaps, you will persuade Kenyans to change the structure. I have sympathy with what you have said, Hon. Wanjala, because you and I know how efficient the other system was. If a Minister gave an undertaking here, we could direct that the response be given even the following week on a Monday or a Tuesday. But now, how do you tell a chairman of a committee that we want an answer the following day? Where will it come from? So, it is a problem. Of course, many Kenyans do not understand that that is where the problem is."
