"content": " Order, Hon. Omboko. We have gone to the next Order. With all due respect to my fellow panellists, you sit in this House. You can amend the Standing Orders to make it possible for Cabinet Secretaries to come here and perform the duties that you want them to perform. For somebody like me who was in the 10th Parliament, when Ministers used to be Members of Parliament, the current dispensation is totally different. I do not think this arrangement is working very well for us. There are many things in the Constitution that work very well but this particular arrangement, in which Committee Chairpersons have become spokesmen for Ministries, is not working for this country. It is up to you, as Members of Parliament. I am commenting on this matter because I am also a Member of Parliament, and I would like us to rise up to the occasion."
