    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. While I commend the Committee for having taken over this matter and tried to resolve it, I want to raise concern about the indulgences of this House in the other branches of the Government. I would like to know when this Cabinet Secretary contravened the law, was the matter reported to the Cabinet? Did the President and the Deputy President know about that contravention or are we doing the work of the President? This House will deviate from its purpose and objectives if we micromanage the Government. We will expose ourselves to ridicule if we interfere with every matter that happens in the Government of Kenya. The President campaigned the same way we campaigned. He proposed the people who were appointed Cabinet Ministers. He should have power to discipline them. When an incident happens, he should know and take action. It is upon this House to play its oversight role if the President fails to take action. We will not be able to do any work in this House if we indulge in promotions and transfers of officers in the Government."
