    "content": "I want to take Sen. Cherarkey to the provisions of Article 234 of the Constitution. I read the Constitution before I rise to say something. I read the advertisement that was placed on the newspapers by the PSC. The issue is that offices are being created in the public service and not officers who can serve in the Cabinet. So, you must draw a distinction. They can create positions for directors and all that. However, you cannot create positions for Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS). If you read Articles 152, 153 and 154, there is no room for that. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the idea of going out of the way trying to re-write our Constitution to reward political failures is a bad culture. If you vie for a political office and you are rejected, you should wait for another five years. If the President wants to respect our Judiciary, let him accept the reality that there is no space for appointment of CAS. We have a Constitution which we should all respect. The other thing I want to talk about is agriculture. Let us not be in a hurry and kill Kenyans in the process. In 2012, a scientific report stated that Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) can cause cancer. We now want to allow entrepreneurs in the name of ensuring food security. That is not promoting hustlers as they told us. They now want to allow entrepreneurs from outside the borders of this country to come and poison our people with GMOs which cause cancer. Why is our President in a hurry? If the Cabinet halted that idea in 2012, when did we have another study?"
