    "content": "Hon. Otichilo, if you appeared before that Committee tomorrow, you may be able to prosecute. Members, we may even want to say this is very serious, but hon. Simba Arati is also saying what it is that his Committee has been doing. They can only do so much. They are Members of Parliament like yourself and have to attend the plenary here like you are attending. So, you may be requiring them not to also do their oversight and legislative work in the House. So, sometimes, you may want to push as though--- This is not the Executive. I suggest that you attend the Committee meeting and make your representations there. Indeed, possibly, in the course of early next year, we will even remove this process from here because it is actually not helping the Members to do their other work. Your colleagues also have to do representation work like you are doing. They have also to do legislative work even as much as they do oversight. So, this system, as you can see, and I am sure everybody has noticed, has its inherent weaknesses. But, more particularly, Kenyans are used to seeing questions being responded to by the Executive, even though they were not always satisfactory. Of course, people must change and we have moved on. So, it behooves all of us to come up with suggestions as to how best we can improve the system to serve us better."
