    "content": "There is also the question of the Cabinet Secretaries appearing in the House. I had an opportunity to listen to many of our friends who think or imagine that allowing Members of the Cabinet to appear in the House… I saw what the sub-committee of the Procedure and House Rules Committee proposed. There is no proposal for Cabinet Secretaries to come and sit or stand where we are privileged to have been elected by Kenyans. We stand in the Plenary here today or sit on our seats. There is a proposal to create provision for them to sit at the Bar. We admit the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury to table his revenue estimates every year in June. During the State of the Nation Address, we allow the President to come and address the House from the Bar where you sit. We will allow Cabinet Secretaries to come and answer questions, statements and issues that are of concern to Kenyans from the Bar here. I can see Hon. Kaluma is pointing at the other bar, but it is not the one. I mean the one in the Chamber. Therefore, from this Bar or the Civil Servants Row, Cabinet Secretaries can come and be accountable to Kenyans."
