    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me take it from there. Two of my colleagues have talked about what these cabinet secretaries do when they accompany the President to public rallies. I have heard Cabinet Secretary Hon. Mbadi speak about increasing the allocation of Jaramogi Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital to Kshs3 billion. I have also heard Hon. Opiyo Wandayi speaking about how much money he has put for electrification of his rural area in Nyanza. He even said that the money they have borrowed on behalf of Kenya has gone to his region. The majority of the people who have benefited are from his region. When a cabinet secretary increases the allocation to Jaramogi Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital, what about Coast General Hospital? Mr. Mbadi, have you forgotten that you are also a cabinet secretary for the Coast region? Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, when you say you have gone to borrow money on behalf of Kenya to take to Nyanza, what about Tana River County? What about the Coast region? What is wrong with you, people? I think there is a problem with these people when they accompany the President on these political rallies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we should pass a law that cabinet secretaries should not accompany the President to political rallies. These people are supposed to be technical. The people who should accompany the President and be on the ground are governors and Members of Parliament. What do they do? The fact is that they do not go to those places if the President is not there. You will not see them doing official things such as opening the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). It is high disrespect for 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 and AudioServices, Senate."
