    "content": "on the Floor of this House that affect the common mwananchi let us not degenerate our arguments and debate into political party affiliations. I join my colleagues in saying that CSs are not above the law. Article 154(2) (b) is the genesis of this problem whereby a CS can only be dismissed by the appointing authority who is the President. Moving forward, these are some of the issues that we shall be looking into. I know some of the solutions were already encapsulated in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) proposals. However, that process was mismanaged and there we are still at the same place. I believe that the young leaders of this Republic, the likes of Sen. Sakaja and Sen. Cherargei, not forgetting Sen. Wambua from Kitui County, will one day change this Constitution. We will one day remove all its inconsistencies so that we cushion our people. We have seen CSs wanting to lecture elected leaders. I was elected by 438,000 votes in Kakamega County. An appointee cannot purport to lecture me on issues of representation. Let them know that we are mandated to oversight them. Article 96 of the Constitution gives me as the Senator of Kakamega County the mandate to oversight the Executive. When I summon a CS to this House, let him park his files quickly and come running to this House because I have the power of the people."
