"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow him to hold his views. He is entitled to his personal opinion. The Government is tracking this one Mr. Osiemo, so that he can be found and he can then shed light in order to find out whether what one Mary Ngâethe is saying is correct or not. We want him to be found as quickly as possible. The Kenya Police is usually very efficient in tracking people down. So, I hope that Mr. Osiemo will be found as quickly as possible. Hon. Chepkitony has asked about the PricewaterhouseCoopers Report and there is no harm in tabling that report before the House. He went further and said that when we were appointing, there were consultations and the President then was the appointing authority. What must be made very clear is that in the Coalition Government, each side appoints its side. In other words, the President only appointed, technically speaking, Members from the PNU side. The Members on the ODM side are appointed by the party leader of ODM. In other words, the President could not come and head-hunt Ministers from ODM without them being provided by the Coalition partner. That is how it operates. The President basically was doing what is actually required under the Accord. In that case, the appointing authority in as far as ODM is concerned is the party leader of ODM and not the President. But there is one thing that is all the time not recognized or it is ignored deliberately. The Accord provides very clearly that there are two partners and two parties with two principals who are equal. That Accord is entrenched in the Constitution. It goes further to say that in as far as any other section of that Constitution contradicts the Accord, the Accord prevails. That is why Section 23, which is all the time being quoted, is irrelevant in as far as it contradicts the Accord."
