    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would also like to indicate that I am not too sure why the Minister is sharing our frustration because he is the Leader of Government Business and also because of his own confession, he has not called a meeting yet neither has he raised this issue in the Cabinet. So, his frustrations are self inflicted and it just shows the attitude that the Front Bench has. Indeed, this week alone, we have raised concerns at the poor response by the Front Bench on matters of this House and we are more concerned because we are moving to the last leg in terms of Parliamentary work. There are issues of constitutional implementation that we would like the Government side to move with haste and speed and address. If you do not move with haste and speed, we will be forced, as the Parliamentary Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution, to take over. You could also prioritize Bills that may not be within the two-year framework but touch on vulnerable and marginalized groups like Bills touching on Article 100 on equality and equal opportunities so that we do not have the Mombasa Republican Council (MRC) and the post election violence. Some of the issues that were raised over post election violence were underlying issues. So, we should also have the Bills that deal with underlying issues."
