    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity for me to also contribute to this Bill by my friend the Senator for Vihiga, Sen. Osotsi. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I chair the Standing Committee on Education. My training was in education. In the Psychology of Education, there is a theory called Theory “X”. This theory provides that human beings naturally hate work. They only work because of the reward and also to avoid punishment. It is for this reason that I stand here to support the Bill brought to this House by Sen. Osotsi. When especially at the committee level, we have been inviting Cabinet Secretaries (CS), governors, and other officers who are CEOs in their ministries or even their counties sometimes, we see a lot of contempt, especially when these summonses come from the Senate. I say this because you will find a CS when invited by the Senate, sometimes they do not even give a damn about these invitations. However, when they are invited by the National Assembly, and that is why I have a very big problem, they honour the summonses or invitations religiously. They do not sometimes take summons by the Senate as seriously as they do the National Assembly. That is why we must, through this Bill by Sen. Osotsi, give the Senate teeth to bite and bite well. These are things that tie committee work because sometimes, we need responses from these CSs and other officers. That is why we must support this Bill. That is why I support it. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
