    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that I am committed to making sure that these Statements are delivered, including the one requested from me by my friend, Dr. Khalwale, regarding funding for parties upon promulgation of the constitution. I want to say that this will be read in time. I want to be ready by next Thursday as well. I also urge my Cabinet colleagues to take these Statements very seriously. However, I have observed over time that some of the Ministerial Statements requested could as well pass for Parliamentary questions to be placed on the Order Paper. Listening just a few minutes ago to the request by the hon. Member for Embakasi for a Ministerial Statement from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government, I had no doubt in my mind that that could actually come in the form of a Parliamentary question; the matter of establishment of these fresh produce stores. On the same note, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to remind my cabinet colleagues of the need to ensure timely submission of minister’s reports, consistent with Standing Order No.183(1) as failure to submit the same is deemed to be disorderly conduct within the meaning of Standing Order No.90(7). Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to refocus my fellow Members and colleagues in the House on the enormity of opened expectations from Kenyans of our new and very central role in implementation of the new Constitution. We have to rise above partisan, regional and even gender differences and move in one direction to be able to fulfill this historic obligation bestowed on us by our country, and by our motherland. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If any Member wishes to raise any issue, I think I will be only too glad to respond."
