    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this chance. Hon. Masara has said that he is my in-law. He has contributed on the general debate on the proposal to Parliament to consider amending the Constitution and the Standing Orders. I concur with him on the issue of the NG-CDF. It should be anchored in the Constitution because the NG-CDF and the NGAAF have achieved a lot. I was happy to see most women parliamentarians, including new Members who are yet to receive this year’s NGAAF allocation, contributing to the Motion. I support the proposal to fully anchor it in our supreme law. Some people would say that they support it with all their body organs. I support it with my legs, hands and head. If it was something to carry, I would carry it on my head saying that it should have come as soon as yesterday. I support it 100 per cent. On the issue of Cabinet Secretaries coming to the House, in previous regimes, some rogue Ministers who ignored summons to appear in this House to respond to Questions set a bad example. That is why with the promulgation of the new Constitution, Cabinet Secretaries no longer come to the House. I support the proposal for Cabinet Secretaries to come and answer Members’ Questions in this House so that if there is an urgent issue bothering Kenyans across the country, it can be deliberated on in this House and a solution provided urgently, unlike a situation whereby Cabinet Secretaries fail to appear before Committees to answer Questions but instead send their Principal Secretaries. I strongly support the idea."
