    "content": "Hon. Speaker, we have said time and again that we imported a foreign Constitution in many aspects and it is our responsibility. It may not be the right time in some minds to amend the Constitution but I can tell you it behoves you. It is a must that we must correct the foreign things in our Constitution. There is no running away. It may be that the two sides of this Parliament are not talking in one tone or in unison but I can tell you time will run out and we will have to dialogue – the word “dialogue” that you so hate. However, I can tell you that time will run out. Hon. Speaker, this is because the way this Constitution was made, it imported too many things that are simply not implementable. So, there is an argument out there that it is not five years but some of the things were supposed to be implemented from day one like this thing of checking Government was supposed to have been here on 4th of March 2013. It never occasioned because it is not implementable. There is nothing wrong and let me tell my friend Duale: “Today, he would either be the Prime Minister or the Leader of Government Business, and we would ask him questions.” Now, he wants to ask questions on behalf of the people of Garissa. If he was the Government, he would be doing things for the people of Garissa. That is because he would be one seated in that office. In fact, I would be going to his office to beg on behalf of the people of Gem. But, now I cannot. I do not even know the names of some Cabinet Secretaries, whom we vetted. In fact, I saw another one saying he only reports to the President. He does not know Parliament and he is just a nobody!"
