    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sure hon. Neto is very keenly following what I am saying. We do not want the media to interpret it differently. We do not want constitutional lawyers to look at it differently. We are not amending the Constitution. We are not changing the frame and the structure of a presidential system of Government. That is the wish of the people of Kenya. This House has no mandate. So, what we have done with the able Committee chaired by our Speaker is that we have realised that the system is not working. Even in the United States of America today, their system has challenges after 300 plus years of using it. What the Committee has done and I have read the Report is that every Wednesday, two hours will be allocated to a batch of two or three Cabinet Secretaries depending on the agenda where they will address us from there and Members can interrogate them. I also want to tell the Cabinet Secretaries that maybe one day they might join politics. They might become Senators, Governors, Members of Parliament, Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) or Speakers. So this will also be a very good way of engagement."
