    "content": "In my experience, implementation of any policy measures in Government requires a number of champions in those relevant Government departments. Those champions must be in touch with people of similar views in the House who would wish to see implementation of those particular objectives accurately done in Government. What is happening is as a result of the separation. When CSs are no longer in the House here, we have nobody in the Executive who is likely to build the passion for implementing anything we say here. So, it is as if we are talking in vain and yet, this is supposed to be the Assembly of some of the best Kenyan citizens who have been elected and brought here to initiate reform agenda in our country. I noticed when I was in the Committee on Implementation that we are starting afresh requesting implementation of parliamentary resolutions or laws and we are working with the department in Government that is totally ignorant of what ought to be done and, many times, even lacking interest in pursuing what we are calling on them to implement. So, there has to be a reform in this area to establish a stronger communication between Parliament and the Executive that is supposed to take note of what Parliament initiates in terms of better administration, governance and development of the country.
