    "content": "I wish my colleague was listening to my statement because I picked it in the context of what the President stated in paragraphs 18 and 19. He has read it well. What the President meant was that he will be seeking additional resources. I am sure my colleague is aware of the procedure and the processes within which Parliament can and should deal with such issues as this one which the President was referring to in his inaugural Address to Parliament. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to continue. I believe I still have the Floor. The second item I want to speak to is Paragraph 17 which this House has previously been taken through by Senators who spoke before me. They have stated that the President is seeking to amend the Constitution through the back door. I believe it was Sen. (Dr.) Oburu who said that he is not expecting the President to amend the Constitution by that reference in Paragraph 17 of his Address where the President stated that he will be seeking the House to enhance or to make appropriate mechanisms. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has been stated before this House that there is a procedure. Article 153 of the Constitution is available in terms of Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) being required to appear before this House. That is a mechanism or a means within which the President was making reference. How do we ensure that they appear before the House to deal with the business or an issue that the House requires of them?"
