    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Head of the Public Service submitted that Article 260 of the Constitution defines a public officer and we have done that. As a Committee, we know the reason there is this elaborate move to remove a member of the Media Council of Kenya is because in 2013 we passed the Media Council Act to make it difficult to remove a member unless there are grounds. It was anticipated that if there is a reason to remove a member, they have to go through a tribunal. All the reasons that I have given, the Committee in its own wisdom and from the reasons we have advanced and the law, we find that the Media Council Act provides for safeguards to ensure this elaborate move is taken to ensure a member is not just removed easily."
