    "content": "Mr. temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the hon. Member for bringing this Motion. Indeed, I need to pay special tribute to hon. Mungatana because since he left the Government, he has come up with such a rare zeal and commitment to make sure that governance in the Cabinet is properly observed. Shortly, as I stand here, I will be bring a Bill on the size of the Cabinet. Even the greatest democracies or the countries with the largest population have very small cabinets. What do you make of a Cabinet of 42 Ministers? That cannot be the council of advisors to the President. That can only be a classroom or a baraza. It is no wonder that there is a lot of wrangling in this Coalition, in particular. The Ministers do not seem to be very sure of their responsibilities. This goes beyond financial and resources allocation. It includes the whole essence and etiquette of governance. The position of a Minister should be a very exalted position. The Cabinet should remain small, lean, swift and respected in the nation. It is unfortunate that the House has seen it fit to debate this Motion, because of the failure of the Cabinet to respond to what makes work better. An induction course should not be part of a Motion in this House. This is to encourage the Government or an organization to do what is common sense. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I came to this House, I used to be the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of an organization called Oxfam International. Immediately one is recruited to that organization, he is taken on a three-month induction course, including going to the Headquarters in the UK for a one month course known as âKnow Oxfam Courseâ. But here, Ministers, who are supposed to respond to the needs of the Republic of Kenya, come here with no clue of what they are supposed to do. Indeed, if you saw what happened last week, you will agree with us why this Motion is urgent. I expected the Assistant Ministers to support their Minister. They contradicted the Minister on the Floor of the House. That is completely embarrassing. Finally, I want the Cabinet to be a Cabinet of principle. We had the late Jaramogi as the Vice-President. But when he realized that the appointing authority was not working in tandem with him, he resigned. We had the late Kaggia. When he realized that the appointing authority was working against known policy, he resigned. Ms. Karua and hon. Mungatana resigned this year. After the induction, I expect the Cabinet Ministers to realize that these things happen and resign when they have no business working in that Cabinet. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support."
