"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Constitution has areas that we have also not looked at. Now - and I do not want to go back to debates that we have crossed â we are talking about the positions of a Cabinet Secretary. If we were to go through that route, then we would actually say there are only a maximum of 24 Cabinet Secretary positions in this country. If we have to interpret the Constitution, then the Cabinet should have been condensed and a number of our colleagues will find themselves useful at the Back Bench. We need to look at the piece meal implementation of the Constitution and allow it because we are within the transition. I can see my Whip, Mr. Midiwo, is in agreement partially and in disagreement partially. I also want to say that Article 210 calls on all of us to pay taxes. We have also not allowed it to come into place because there is a bit of transition that we must accommodate as we go on. There is the tax that is anticipated that we are to pay. I also pay tax, but there is more that Kenyans would like us to pay. I know Mr. Githae pays taxes, but the Constitution says that we should pay more. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
