    "content": "It then follows in this amendment that Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) have been renamed to Cabinet Ministers. In my view, it is okay. However, we must entrench this thinking in Kenyans that it is not the type and title of the name you carry that can make you deliver. Being called a minister or secretary or whatever, does not lessen or diminish that kind of work you do. It is the requirement of your office that you need to deliver. It is all right that we will now call them Cabinet Ministers. In my view, I believe it was just a question of a hangover of names that were used before. However, I did not believe that it essentially had any value input. Since it is the view of Kenyans as the Committee has told us in Article 257 that it is the views of our people we are talking about, let it be. Madam Speaker, in Article 142, the amendment that requires the expansion of time for the Supreme Court to determine when a matter of the Presidential election has been raised. I commend the proposal to increase that proposal to 30 days. Given the fact that during the first Presidential Petition, I confess I was one of those people who were very pessimistic. When the panel of Supreme Court judges to look at the petition was constituted, one of the most curious things was that they were all new justices of the High Court. None of them had pended even a single ruling anywhere. We were asking ourselves what kind of ruling they were going to come up with."
