"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have to be alive to two things as we discuss this issue. The observation by Hon. Millie Odhiambo is correct. These Papers are laid in the House but we do not consider all of them as required. sThe House may not consider all of them as required, but we must also be alive to the fact that some of these Papers are required to be laid on the Table as a way of reporting to Parliament by the various agencies that are overseen by Parliament. It is a requirement in the Constitution. It is also a requirement in the statutes. So, those particular Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) must comply with the law. If Parliament does not have enough time to look at these reports, it has itself to blame because these Government agencies have complied with the law, they have brought their reports here and so it is for us to find time to examine them."
