    "content": "Homa Bay Town, ODM): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. This provision is too substantive for a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. I commend the Vice-Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs Committee for flagging it out. I wish other Chairpersons would also do the same thing. Even if these provisions were to be brought substantively, they would still be objectionable. Chapter 15 of the Constitution of Kenya creates too many commissions with their respective mandates. They do their things. On matters of employment, we have the Public Service Commission. We cannot move that mandate through the back door and make the EACC the body that recruits after shortlisting. That will be obnoxious. Secondly, the EACC is now a religious house; Bishop Wabukala finished the mass and Bishop Oginde took over. Nothing is happening there. We must leave this mandate within the Public Service Commission. Even if it was brought substantively, we will still oppose it. I recommend that you return to the sector and tell them that this provision can never see the light of day when I am seated in this House with the Leader of the Majority Party. Thank you. I oppose.
