Hon. Mbadi is saying kazi mingi . I do not know whether he speaks for the President or for the Cabinet. You are the Member for Suba. You are not the Secretary to the Cabinet unless you want to apply. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I need your guidance because that Acting Cabinet Secretary must be compelled to appear before the Committee.
