"content": "You work very hard to become the Senator for Meru County and then the person you vanquished becomes a Cabinet Administrative Secretary (CAS). When it comes to the order of precedence, the CAS is now more powerful than the Senator who defeated him in the last elections. These are things that we must fix. I wish to encourage Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, in the 11th Parliament, he came up with an Order of Precedence Bill. We must revive that order of precedence so that those people who are political losers out there – they are still Kenyans and they can get other opportunities – cannot load it over the people who have been elected by the public to represent them here. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my final concern is that this House must and can only admit a CS who is appointed as per the Constitution; and who has been vetted by the National Assembly as required by the Constitution."
