    "content": "Secretaries sitting in this House answering questions, we will have eroded our power as a National Assembly and we will not have power. I think we debated and we could see deficiencies whenever the Chairmen of Committees were presenting answers because they were consulting and it was not forthcoming. So, the decision we arrived at to make the new Standing Orders was after a lot of soul searching and a lot of consultation. It was the best thing to do. If I may ask now that the President has requested for a stay of these new Standing Orders, how long is the stay? If it was a stay for a month for consultation and this National Assembly agrees with what the Executive says, that would be a good way of going forward. But as things stand, if you give in to what the Executive wants you will be answerable to the Kenyans you represent because you will be losing your opportunity to play oversight on the Executive."
