    "content": "We do not expect to see a Cabinet that will still be very arrogant; a Cabinet that will not be willing to answer Questions of Members of Parliament (MPs); and a Cabinet that runs like it is them to show it all. We have had challenges and I will mention specific areas. For instance, there were serious challenges in the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works. I tried to reach the Cabinet Secretary for five years and I never saw him. I am happy that the Cabinet Secretary nominee for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, Kindiki, is a gentleman who understands. It was impossible to deal with the previous Cabinet Secretary. He was operating at a level that you would not imagine. Another area was the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology where the Cabinet Secretary was a one-man show. He ran the whole show alone. As we approve these Cabinet Secretary nominees, I am appealing to this House to send them a signal that they should be responsible to the House. I want to specifically deal with the area of education. The Cabinet Secretary nominee must be ready and know that, as he comes into office, he faces the CBC that is affecting the education system. He faces the issue of delocalisation, which is already on the Floor of this House. Thanks to the Member for Lurambi for having moved this Motion. He is faced with the issue of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and its role as both a regulator and an employer. He is faced with the issue of non-monetary collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) to the workers, specifically the teachers of Kenya. He further faces the issue of infrastructure in our schools and the transition of CBC. Furthermore, he is facing shortage of teachers in our schools, among other challenges. Therefore, he should come to the fore while ready to do this business. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
