    "content": "When a Government Bill is before the House, the Cabinet Secretary can only do what the Cabinet Secretary for Health did in the Health Laws (Amendments) Bill. She brought a letter requesting that we step down the radiation laws and a number of other Bills. That is a record that is available in the Clerk’s Office and in my office. What Hon. Maanzo is saying about that Cabinet Secretary and Principal Secretary can be treated as rumours. If he feels that he has a problem with the Bill, it will go through a Committee of the whole House. Question of amendments will be put. Until the same Government writes to me on their reservations on that section, I stand by the Cabinet Memo and the letter from the Attorney-General that sent this Bill to the Leader of the Majority Party and the Clerk of the National Assembly. Besides that, Hon. Maanzo has a very rich history with a rich Principal Secretary at a high level. He was the Secretary of Cooperatives. To be a Principal Secretary, you have to be vetted by the House. I have no record of Hon. Maanzo being vetted by this House, but he was the Secretary of Cooperatives. So, he has a lot of interest. He also talked about the cooperative movement and the SACCOs. I have no problem with it. This Bill is in the House properly, contrary to his rumours. He should table a letter from that Principal Secretary and Cabinet Secretary, which I will transmit to the appointing authority that chaired the Cabinet session that approved the Bill. The Government does not work on the basis of rumours but through official communication."
