Kimani Ichung’wah","speaker":null,"content":"The pertinent issues that Members have will be addressed before the House. The Cabinet Secretaries will not only address Members of Parliament or answer questions. I believe that Members of Parliament do not ask questions for themselves. They seek Statements on behalf of the people they represent. Therefore, in actualising that role of representation and oversight, I implore Members to support this proposal to amend our Standing Orders. I must commend the sub-committee of the Procedure and House Rules Committee that has been working on this proposal. I look forward to adoption of their Report by the Committee and subsequent approval by the House."}
