    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what the Attorney-General is trying to do here in a nutshell is that if you are vetted by this House even for a constitutional commission, say, the EACC, then the President has leeway to appoint you as the Cabinet Secretary and your name need not come back to this House. That is the spirit of this amendment. My good friend, for the first time today, was holding brief for the Attorney-General. He ought to have been here to agree with all the amendments here, including the one affecting IPOA. I support that we delete this. If you are appointed as a Principal Secretary, your name has to come back to the House for vetting. If you are promoted you also come back here for vetting. This is because within the period you are a Principal Secretary or Cabinet Secretary, you could have committed grave economic crimes. The only thing you can go with to your grave is your certificate, if you went to school. You must come back to this House. You know I am a pastoralist. When you are taking cows to a dip, you lock in the first cow once it is inside the dip. The next cow can only gain entry when there is space. So, those who want to be promoted must be sure that they will come back to the House stage after stage."
