    "content": "Hon. Speaker, there is no way a Member of Parliament who is supposed to check the Executive can read a statement on behalf of the Executive and I have told hon. Duale that. He purports to talk on behalf of the Government. He is not. He is the Member of Parliament for Garissa Town. All those purported powers are not his powers. They are not envisaged in the Constitution. He is the Leader of the Majority Party and he is supposed to negotiate with this side on how we do our work but we have seen the arrogance of power here. Like you are saying, we saw it here in Chris Murangaru, and Kiraitu. We have seen that arrogance of power. It never takes the country forward and I want to tell you my colleagues that the ultimate solution to the predicament which faces us is to change the Constitution. Now you are lucky that the Speaker is trying to give a solution which is a way forward for the next two years or so. But we will have to find an ultimate solution of having Members of Parliament in the Cabinet, so that we can have our own colleagues that we know."
