    "content": " Hon. Speaker, with your indulgence, I am being told to repeat. If a cabinet secretary of the national Government is not a Member of the county executive committee (CEC), particularly this one who has a letter dated 25th February, has an invitation from the departmental committee that oversees him, he should know which side of his bread is buttered. Appear before the House that oversees you. Give it priority over any other House. They can spend their time as they wish. We cannot dictate how they spend their time. To close it, we must tell the Executive to give priority to the National Assembly, especially on matters touching on the budget-making process. We do not want to fight our colleagues. As a former Senator, you and the Speaker of the Senate have led us well in having consultative processes to avoid squabbles between both Houses. Yesterday, Members raised issues concerning the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF). They do not control any funds. They do not want to control even a single shilling or cent of the RMLF. We are just protecting our constitutional mandate to oversee the national Government institutions like the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA). We have not asked for money to go to the Members of Parliament. I have never heard them asking for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
