    "content": "Why is it that the PSC is behaving as if it is under SRC and yet the SRC and PSC are a creation of the Constitution? I note the change of Chair. Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Members of Parliament are facing many problems because of the SRC. We want to encourage, challenge and beseech the PSC to do something. We want to give yale mate ya baraka to PSC, so that they do not allow SRC to blackmail and intimidate them. Why do you fear the SRC? They are issuing circulars left, right and centre. The SRC Chairperson was giving herself a Kshs10 million car grant, while Members of Parliament were given Kshs6 million. In fact, the SRC should be made a part-time Commission because it does not have much business. The review of salaries is provided under the law. I, therefore, challenge the PSC not to be intimidated. The PSC should not behave as if the SRC is up and we are down. The PSC should work from up and down. Finally, the PSC is doing well. As per Article 118 of the Constitution, we want to encourage the PSC to promote parliamentary democracy. They are building the Centre of Parliamentary Studies and Training (CPST) in Karen. Therefore, we are proud of what they are doing in terms of promoting parliamentary democracy. There is bill tracking that is online and other facilities that Members are enjoying, including water. We challenge the secretariat to, biannually, provide us with the Constitution, documentation and an update of the iPad, so that it becomes easy to execute our duty. There is a catalogue of laws that should be provided in our offices. After the COVID-19 pandemic, why should we be seeing these big catalogues?"
