    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to also air my views as far as this Bill is concerned. I want from the word go to confirm that I fully support the contents of the BBI Bill. This is a process which has been going on for the last three or so years. We have all participated at every stage of this process. This is the moment that we have been waiting for. On behalf of the people of Nyamira and Borabu in particular, I want to confirm that we support this Bill fully and we are ready and prepared, when the time comes, to vote yes all of us in Nyamira. We have heard people raising very many issues about this Bill. Some of them say the wage bill will go very high if this Bill is passed. It is clear that the Cabinet Secretaries are going to come from this House. If the Cabinet Secretaries will come from this House, they will be Members of Parliament. That in itself is a reduction of the wage bill. Currently we have Members of Parliament here and the Cabinet Secretaries are outside there and are earning salaries. When Cabinet Secretaries come from the House, they will only be entitled to some allowances and not salaries. That in itself is a reduction in the wage bill. We have been asking questions to the Chairmen to get answers from Cabinet Secretaries who do not come to the House. It is going to be a neater and a good thing when Cabinet Secretaries are in the House, they are asked questions and they answer directly on the Floor of the House. We have heard some people telling us that we will have Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and the Deputy President. The House as constituted currently has the Leader of the Majority Party, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
