    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hate to interrupt my leader and former Member of the Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee, which I chaired. Sen. Dullo, being a senior lawyer, I expected her to provide proper guidance. We might end up misleading the House. Article 153(3) of the Constitution talks about a CS attending a Committee of the National Assembly or the Senate when required by the Committee and answer any question concerning a matter for which the CS is responsible. However, Sen. Dullo made an assertion that the CAS will appear before Committees, which is misleading the country. As a leader in this House, she should not mislead when the Constitution is clear under Article 153(3) on who should appear before any Committee, so that we do not get a mix up. The President suggested and the Standing Orders will be relooked at. This does not mean that the CAS should appear. I remember that we were together with her on several occasions where we turned away CASs. I remember that Sen. Dullo used to serve in the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations where I hope she will continue serving. We sent back the current Governor of Narok, Hon. Ntutu, when he was the CAS for Interior and Coordination of national Government. Let the Senate Minority Whip guide the nation appropriately and not mislead it."
