Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Former Cherangany MP Kipruto Arap Kirwa now claims President William Ruto is trying to embrace the BBI using indirect means.<\/p>\n

He argues that most of the things Ruto has done or is planning to do were proposed in the collapsed Building Bridges Initiative.<\/p>\n

“Ruto created position of Prime cabinet secretary without the two deputies and he is now creating positions of assistant ministers calling them Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS),” he said during an interview on KTN.<\/p>\n

The former minister also weighed in on Ruto’s pledge to amend parliamentary standing orders to enable Cabinet Secretaries to respond to questions on the floor of the House.<\/p>\n

“They are saying ministers will be going to parliament to be questioned which takes us to what BBI was saying that a certain proportion of ministers should come from Members of Parliament,” Kirwa said.<\/p>\n

The President said they have discussed with legislators to have the proposal implemented.<\/p>\n

“It has not been possible for cabinet secretaries to be interrogated by the legislators. Some members of parliament have been answering questions in parliament,” Ruto said.<\/p>\n

The President said requiring cabinet secretaries to appear in Parliament goes beyond the need for them to answer to questions that touch on their dockets.<\/p>\n

He said it’s not about members of Cabinet answering questions to make MPs happy.<\/p>\n

“You need to interact with them so that they can understand what you are doing in the ministry and some of the questions you could answer over a cup of tea within the premises of a parliament,” he said.<\/p>\n

He said the interaction will provide an opportunity for MPs to clear up some pending concerns so that they don’t need to follow them in their offices.<\/p>\n
