    "content": "The President implores us to explore mechanisms in the Standing Orders to facilitate questioning of the Cabinet Secretaries (CSs). This confirms that he believes in accountability of the Executive arm of Government. We should all support that move regardless of our party affiliations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know this has been a hot debate since we started yesterday. A number of reactions were raised by the Members of this House on how this can be actualised. I know the CSs have been coming to our various committees. However, the issue that the President was talking about is to have the CSs come to this House to reply to issues that are affecting the nation. Sometimes, it is hard for us to engage them because every now and then when you call upon them, they send their representatives. It is time we changed some provisions to allow them to come to this House to face Members and respond to issues that are being raised. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me now address myself to the issue of the reduction of the price of fertilizer. Immediately the Government took over, the first thing they did was to reduce the price of fertilizer. We are talking about fertilizer because the President, in his manifesto, is interested in food production in this country. This has been a challenge."
