"content": " I withdraw those statements. But this will haunt us. It will come back to us someday. I am not going to go to court. I am no longer a lawyer, but a legislator. This is my place to say things and things must be done here. I must not threaten anybody about the court of law. Those courts of law will take their chance, but this is still going to another House. The point we are making is a very simple one. To join the head of public service at the same time to be the chief of staff are two different nomenclatures. One is a public officer that we oversee because he is the head of public service, but the other is an appointee of the President, who at best is a cabinet secretary. If you go to the Commonwealth, a chief of staff is almost a minister. A president decides who becomes a chief of staff. In fact, this is a person who actually can go to the kitchen of the president. A president is allowed worldwide to take his most loyal person to be the chief of staff. But the head of civil service is another matter. He needs not be the person who is most loyal to the president. He needs to be a person who is loyal to the country so that we can oversee him. These are big issues which will still come back. Other people will interpret it. Maybe the courts of law, I do not know. Maybe the Omtatahs will take these things to the court of law, I do not know. But I can tell you that this is unconstitutional to the extent that it is mixing the head of the public service and the chief of staff. It is very unconstitutional. But because the majority have said so, so be it. The record will show that on this day, Hon. T.J. Kajwang' stood in his place and said that this is unconstitutional. I am sure the person who is the head of civil service, who is also the chief of staff, is watching this. He may push it for all I care, but it is still unconstitutional. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this chance. I just want to thank Hon. Kajwang' for what he has indicated. Our concern is that when you are a Member of Parliament, you must be heard because that is our representation role. One of the things that I wanted to say earlier in regards to the Bill is the issue of unconstitutionality of some of the issues that are being raised. I know we do not have the numbers and so, Hon. Ichung'wah could have easily raised his Members to defeat. We have had a chance for us to speak. I am hoping the majority side can take cognisance of the things we are saying for purposes of human rights and good governance. I just want to say that, I am proudly serving as a third-term elected Member. If you add as a nominated Member, I am serving my fourth term. I am very familiar with the real business of the House, especially because of the jokes we have been having here. I do not come for any other business. I come to the House when we deal with real issues, legislation that affects lives. That is why I was here in time to deal with this issue. I just want to encourage my loving sister, Hon. Njeri, to please, learn from me. I am serving my third term. I am the senior-most woman Member of Parliament. Hon. Ichung'wah, please, underline that. As my sister is learning from me, she will come back three or four times and even become governor because she is learning at my feet. But if you follow somebody like Ichung'wah who I am told has not gone to Italy to study, you will fail miserably. Please, follow Hon. Millie Odhiambos of this House who can do excellent work. I just want to tell Hon. Ichung'wah that I actually won even after having called the former president names. They still recognise my sterling work in this House for the work that I have done, the work I continue to do and the work I will continue to do. This you cannot take away from me. I am sharp to the core. Thank you. I do not support."
