"content": "My last point is that today, hon. Ngilu showed that politicians are the people who should run governments. It is time to rethink the issue of amending the Constitution to ensure that it is only Parliamentarians who become Cabinet Secretaries. This issue of bringing people from anywhere is not going to assist this country at all. I believe we have very competent people. In fact, I think this House is one of the greatest pools of educated people. I believe they can handle those issues. Maybe we should excuse the Cabinet Secretaries today because they are really scared. When State House tells you that you should not attend a meeting, and that is the appointing authority, and then Parliament tells you to attend, they were definitely in a very peculiar situation. As the Leader of Majority Party said today, they will come on Tuesday. Thank you, hon. Speaker for standing firm. That is the Constitution and we can summon anybody. Nobody should go behind your back or back of this House to give other reasons or to prevent anybody from attending before us. Otherwise, you should call those people who did it to come and explain to us on what basis they did that."
