"content": "Therefore, hon. Speaker, this is a very welcomed Committee of the Whole House and we will be very happy. Actually, some us will hopefully not miss it at any one time and we will always make sure to attend. That is because honestly right now, we do not even know whether some of the responses we normally get have facts. Many a times, we ask for a Statement and the response that come is not factual. They are just superficial and they do not help in anyway. So, sometimes we even wonder why we should seek Statements when the answers will not be satisfactory. Most of the times, some of the issues which we are raising are very important; issues to do with life and death. For example the issue which I have just mentioned, which I have not received a response in four months, no reply came and you wonder what the Cabinet Secretary is doing. Why this Statement is not coming is probably because most of the Cabinet Secretaries are not very happy. I am sure right now they are resisting coming to the House. So, this is a very welcomed Motion and Cabinet Secretaries should not refuse. We are just the representatives of the people and we will not be very hostile to them. We will welcome them to just tell them the wananchi’s concerns, so that we can interrogate them and receive good answers. Therefore, hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Motion."
