"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request that you make it mandatory that if it is the CS who has been summoned or invited, the Committee shall not entertain any other person apart from the CS. Secondly, the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) has got no constitutional authority to appear before a Committee of the Senate because it does not have a constitutional responsibility. Article 187(2)(b) is very clear. It is the county government who that function has been devolved to that has the constitutional responsibility. If we are clear and the Committee Chairpersons remain firm and only demand for the CSs to appear, we will not have this back and forth because we will command some respect. The moment we deviate from the norm and allow a CAS to appear, then they will be sending whoever they want to appear. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
