    "content": "Please find out from those who were here when we had the Question and Answer sessions. A Minister who needed to be effective on the Floor always found it most useful to call a Member and share the answer given by his officers. This is because you will have questions about villages in Nyatike, Siaya and Kwale. The Ministers would have to rely on their various functionaries in those levels. You may find that whatever the Minister has been given from the ground is totally incongruent with the facts the Member has. An effective Minister would always want to call a Member and share the answer given and find out whether it meets their expectations. I do not want to name people but there were Ministers who would say that since the Question is listed for say, tomorrow, they would request the Speaker that it be taken out so that they get to the bottom of the matter and give a satisfactory answer. That used to happen in the former system. I expect that to happen in this system that after the Chairperson receives an answer, they discuss with the questioner to find out whether their expectations have been met. The questioner can then discuss with the Chairperson and if the answer is not satisfactory, they can agree to request the Speaker to give him more time to respond. I am sure the Member making the request would not object because the idea is to find an answer that makes sense. We are not coming here to settle scores because the person reading the Statement is not even the author. Hon. Mbui, if we adopt this, I am sure it will help and we will go a long way in serving our people."
