    "content": "Chapter 9 of the Constitution is on the Executive. We will expand it in order to promote greater inclusivity and mitigate the drawbacks of the winner-takes-all electoral formula. However, many people have said that the creation of the position of a Prime Minister and the Deputies will expand the Government and make it very costly. That may be true or untrue because you need to take the Constitution in its totality. As we create those three extra positions, we are also saying that Members of the National Assembly can become Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) which will reduce costs. If the President nominates and appoints majority of the sitting Members of the National Assembly in the Cabinet, the net effect will be reducing the cost of maintaining those CSs out there. We need to do away with the Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs) and unnecessary Principal Secretaries (PSs). We appoint too many PSs like we almost attempted to do this afternoon. We need to reduce cost at that level and have the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister positions."
