    "content": "The saddest part for me is that, this House, by agreeing that this Bill should proceed also accepts that they will no longer vet the Cabinet Secretaries. Of course, we may not want to vet ourselves. So, I am arguing that the vetting process was created to allow checks and balances. It was created so that the public can also be able to participate in the vetting process of the Cabinet Secretaries and the Principal Secretaries. We will be scrapping all that by the amendment proposals we are bringing forward. That is not a good thing and Kenyans must know. I thought that ourselves as the Members of Parliament we are the peoples’ representatives and we should not be allowing provisions where a Cabinet Secretary takes a job without being vetted by the National Assembly which represents the people of Kenya."
