    "content": "There is no handing over of notes, there is no debriefing of the previous Minister and no proper briefing of the new Minister but we still expect the same Minister to go and advise the President the following day in the morning. We have to create a proper system of handing over to incoming officers and people who are going to serve in the Cabinet of Kenya not for now but for prosperity. There should be proper handing over notes. It should be as suggested by me; at least, a two-week period where proper handing over must be done. It is wrong today to take somebody who was a Minister for Trade, transfer him to the Ministry of Finance and the next day fly him to Paris to go and sign documentation committing this country to a public debt of billions of shillings without proper handing over mechanisms. The induction must be there. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Kenya Institute of Administration (KIA) exists here to help us have a proper Government. Many of the Members of the Cabinet have not been there. They just hear about it. They think that that it is an institution for the District Officers (Dos) and District Commissioners (DCs), yet that is where management issues are tackled. The issues that deal with how the Government operates are tackled there. Another suggestion under administrative reforms is that, there has got to be a clear process under which Ministers will undergo proper training in Government procedure and work. My own choice of place to go for training would be KIA. They do not have to board there but arrangements can be made. There has got to be proper training for our Ministers before they take off. There are many other administrative things that my fellow colleagues will come up with. The message that we are sending to the Cabinet is that there has got to be some changes."
