    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, under the old Constitution, the Ministers and their assistants who used to give what Sen. Kembi-Gitura is calling a satisfactory answer were Members of Parliament like us. The only difference was that they were putting pressure on technocrats in the Ministry to give supplementary information. The Chair should direct that the Chairs of the Committee should not come with the answers as asked but with Statements with supplementary information which they can use to give those answers. As someone who sat in one of the most successful executive as an Assistant Minister during Kibaki’s presidency - successful in the sense that President Kibaki was the best performing President in this country – I can tell you for sure that the information you require is readily available in the Ministries. What we should do is to push the Chairs to bring along supplementary information. In fact, we do not like seeing some of the Cabinet Secretaries because they remind us of the corruption that they do in their Ministries."
