"content": "Clause 29 of the Bill proposes to amend Article 152 of the Constitution to provide for mixed Cabinet with some members from amongst the Members of the National Assembly. The proposed amendment read together with Clause 25 of the Bill seeks further to re-name the Cabinet Secretary as the Cabinet Minister. This is a very important aspect. Of all the things that really impressed me in the Bill, this particular provision is fantastic. I came up with an appeal which proposed the same. It went through the First Reading in December 2019 in this House but due to Coronavirus, it has not proceeded. I am happy because when the task force or Committee came to Nyamira County, I appeared before them. I submitted what they have captured here. I am very happy. This provision will go a long way to ensure that the Cabinet Ministers are appointed. They will be Members of this House. By so doing, this House will not only be vibrant, but also the Members of the National Assembly will have an opportunity for their issues to be raised and answered on the Floor of the House."
