    "content": "My last point is on the issue of Cabinet Secretaries coming to Parliament to answer Questions. They still come even without this Constitution being amended. They come, not in Parliament, but in our committees, especially during budget-making process. We always invite them to come over and sometimes they do and sometimes they do not come. They are also a total disappointment in some cases where they do not turn up and they do not give any reason but only send their representatives. If you bring them in plenary to answer Questions, challenges are going to be there and we need to be prepared for that. If they take all the time answering Questions, then we will never pass any Bills here. They may occupy too much of our time. My fear is that committees, where they should be answering Questions, will have no role to play. They will be rendered irrelevant. The committees will not have much to do because Cabinet Secretaries will be coming to plenary to answer Questions."
