    "content": "Hon. Speaker, indeed, I have read the Report. From the outset, I want to support it and thank you, as the Chair of this Committee, for the work well done though it has been long overdue. We are supposed to have handled this a long time ago. I am saying so because we have had a lot of problems with Committee Chairpersons. You find some of the information that they are given, before it reaches this House, it is distorted on the way. I have had a series of requests for Statements; one from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology, Hon. (Ms.) Chege; she cannot even remember and this is more than three months down the line. This is something I asked about the vocational technical training institutes which were being funded by the Chinese Government. We have seen the response coming through Prof. Kaimenyi, on where hon. Members are supposed to come in yet that project had already been communicated to the county governments. So, it has been a big problem. Some of the Chairpersons have let us down. This morning we had an issue on the Committee in charge of security where the Vice-Chairperson could not even own the report and he said that the Statement was from the Cabinet Secretary and so he could not own it. So, if we start having such issues, it tells you that whatever we have been consuming here has no issues of accountability. So, this issue is long overdue. It will be very nice and by allowing the Cabinet Secretaries to come here, it has nothing to do with the presidential system or parliamentary system as the Leader of Majority Party was saying."
