    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Clause 28 of the Bill proposes to insert new Articles 151A, 151B, 151C and 151D to provide for the Office of the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Ministers. The Prime Minister will be appointed from among the elected Members of the National Assembly. Further, the National Assembly shall have an opportunity to confirm the Prime Minister nominee. However, there is a provision that the second nominee for the position of the Prime Minister shall assume office, if the National Assembly will not confirm his or her candidature. I do not like this provision. That means that once the first and the second nominees are not confirmed, the President has powers to appoint the Prime Minister without reference to the National Assembly. This is not a good provision because the role of the National Assembly is captured under Article 95 of the Constitution of Kenya. It is proper for the nominee to be confirmed by Parliament."
