    "content": "Excellency the President in having the Standing Orders amended to allow Cabinet Secretaries to appear in this House to answer Members’ Questions. I am sure that he has set the bar very high. The rest of the Cabinet Secretaries who will be appearing here will have a little bit of hard time to catch up. The interest exhibited by Members shows the importance of the matter of security in this country. I personally take this opportunity to thank the Cabinet Secretary, whom I have worked with closely since his appointment. I can confirm that he is the only Cabinet Secretary who has never travelled out of this country because he has always been attending to matters of insecurity affecting this country. He has demonstrated to have travelled to almost every part of this country. He is a very dedicated Cabinet Secretary. There has been a complaint from the Members of this House that majority of Cabinet Secretaries hardly respond to their requests or pick their phone calls but Prof. Kindiki has been exceptional. I want to commend him. Kenyans have high hopes in him. I just want to ask him to keep the pace because Kenyans have a lot of trust in him. As I near to finish, what has been asked by Members here are matters that touch on their constituencies and they were talking on behalf of the constituents they represent here. One thing stood out - that, we have a very committed, dedicated and focused Cabinet Secretary but resources have always been the problem. I want to challenge these Members to help the Ministry and the Cabinet Secretary to accomplish matters related to security in this country whenever we can, either through legislative or resource allocation, including even using our NG-CDF to put up police stations and administrative units. That way, we will be helping the Ministry with the little resources that we have to cater for the most urgent issues."
