    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know Dr. Makali Mulu is my friend as he says. But I think that from where he is sitting, he was not listening to me. If he was, he did not hear what I said. I said I encourage those of you in the Minority Party, as I also encourage those of us in the Majority Party. That we exercise our oversight role without fear or intimidation; without fear that anybody will coerce you or come to audit your NG-CDF on account of your position, or that anybody will take you to the Directorate of Criminal Investigation for the positions you take. Therefore, Hon. Makali, relax! You have nothing to fear. What he is saying is, indeed, true and it is as I had said. Maybe, it bypassed his ears that our role as Members of Parliament is to oversee Government. That is why I encouraged us that, even as we settle down and have the Procedures and House Rules Committee, we hasten to amend our Standing Orders. This is to ensure that these Cabinet Secretaries do not grow horns as soon as they are appointed. They must know that the people who have vetted and approved them reside in this House. They must be responsive to the needs and aspirations of the Kenyan people that are represented by their representatives in this House."
