    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you gave direction and communication because under the Constitution, CSs are first accountable to the Houses of Parliament before they are even accountable to the appointing authority. In the days of President Moi, some Ministers lost their jobs for failing to appear before Parliament. This is a serious matter as CSs carry Government policies with them. Therefore, they can speak with finality on matters before the Houses. I In future, it should be a clear directive to every Committee of this House that if a CS does not turn up on invitation, they should invoke the summons route and that nobody can represent the CS because the Constitution does not create an assistant to the CS. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
