    "content": "this country is an injustice. It is a violation of children’s rights and gross abuse of Article 53 of the Constitution of this country. Previously, we have actually relegated our chairpersons to the positions of messengers because they have not been able to answer supplementary questions. They have only been answering the main question and whenever we had supplementary questions like those answered by Ngilu today, they could not answer them. I think the Cabinet Secretaries should take the new system positively because it is time effective, less cumbersome and cost effective. They do not live in Parliament as they have reported to the Executive. In fact, this system could elevate them by giving them an opportunity to be in the national limelight and showcase whatever they are doing. What happened today was unfortunate for the counties suffering in terms of education. I raised an issue in my question which was not even answered. The issue is that Turkana has a shortfall of 2,200 teachers. The county was given 90 teachers only; this is a drop in the ocean. I think the reason the Cabinet Secretaries did not turn up is that the answers they had given us were inadequate. Mrs. Ngilu was actually prepared. This should be a lesson to others that we do not harass people; rather we respect them. Today, everyone saw what Parliament did to Mrs. Ngilu. We actually appreciated her. We hope that the rest of the Cabinet Secretaries will borrow a leaf from her."
