    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, is Mr. Ruto in order to mislead the House that the law giving rise to the reappointment of the Director is subsidiary legislation? In light of Section 8(7) of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act (2003), Act No.4 that was published on 2nd May, 2003 - I give the date because this is a very important subject - I would need to seek your guidance and description because it is causing unnecessary misunderstanding and misinterpretation in the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to read Section 8(7) of that law I have referred to:- “8(1) – The Commission shall have a Director who shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Commission and who shall be responsible for its direction and management. “(7) – The First Schedule shall have effect in respect of the staff of the Commission” Mr. Speaker, Sir, the First Schedule appears at page 104 of that law and it says clearly, on the right in brackets – I wish the Clerk of the National Assembly could give this Statute to you so that you see what I am talking about. You will notice that these are not regulations made by the line Minister who happens to be me. I certainly did not make Schedule Eight, or my predecessor or her predecessor who is Mr. Murungi. Mr. Murungi is here and can confirm this. This was a schedule expressly forming part of the original Statute. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, need your guidance because this is a very important subject. Is the hon. Member in order, because I believe he is not, to ask a Committee to sit in vain interpreting a Schedule of an Act that is not subsidiary legislation? I seek your guidance."
