The Leader of the Majority Party knows that I am not referring to the time under his watch and I am not even referring to the time under the watch of Hon. Muturi. But I am a lawyer, Hon. Chairman and I do know a bit of the history. I am talking about the past. Now, people who are appointed to the Office of the Attorney-General should be placed under contracts where they are committed to stay there, not as a stepping stone for going to look for greener pastures. The Office of the Attorney-General is larger than draftsmen. There The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I think as a way of background, it is important to understand where we are coming from. The Office of the Attorney-General before the new Constitution, in the old Constitution, was the office that was dealing with both civil and criminal matters. After the new Constitution came in 2010, the office was divided so that it deals with civil matters and advisory services to Government. On the criminal aspects, we created another office called the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution. As Members debate, one of the justifications for creating the Advisory Board so that the Office of the Attorney-General gets autonomy in terms of management of its staff, is also benchmarked on the practice at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and under the ODPP Act. The DPP, which is a baby of the State Law Office, where the Attorney-General is the head, has an Advisory Board that advises on matters recruitment and staff. Two, through public participation as a Committee, we were also able to know that the Office of the Attorney-General has an approved establishment of about 1500 members of staff. However, because the recruitment is done elsewhere at the Public Service Commission, they have only been able to fill a third. Therefore, as Members would ascertain, while we have a prosecutor, basically in every court in this country, there are over 30 counties that do not have a representative of the State Law Office. Therefore, at the county level, Government functionaries have not been able to get advice and the Government has not been represented in civil matters."
