"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to reply and thank all colleagues for the issues they have raised. Of greatest interest is what was brought up by the Senator for Tana River County, who first proposed the need for us to make this debate on the Presidential speech inclusive, to the extent that the President should be requested to sit in during the debate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this quickly invites you and the House to think about changing the Standing Orders. If we changed the Standing Orders to allow the Cabinet Secretaries to come to the House, then we can also change them to ask the President to sit in during debate. This is a very innovative sort of thinking. We should not just be talking to the air. We want the President to listen to us because there are many Presidents in waiting in this House. It is good for him to hear what the future Presidents who shall succeed him will be commenting on his thoughts and programmes. With those many remarks, I reply."
