    "content": "of those who have been nominated by the President to serve as Cabinet Secretaries. This is, however, buttressed by our Standing Order No.45. The notion that sometimes gets peddled out there that this House is simply a rubber stamp is false. This House cannot be a rubber stamp. This House is exercising its constitutional duty under Article 152(2) of the Constitution by vetting nominees for appointment as Cabinet Secretaries. I was amazed last week to read an Article in one of the dailies by a notable columnist by the name Barrack Muluka. He was quoted having said that the President should be given freedom and leeway to appoint those whom he wants to work with, and that there should be no impediments placed on the path of the President in choosing those he wants to work with. The problem in this country is at times about intellectuals who when turned into apologists of the establishment, get their thinking wrong. Nothing can be far from the truth. We are a House comprising of Hon. Members of Parliament from both sides of the divide."
