    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I stand to support the proposed amendments on the four statutes. I will dwell much on the assumption of the Office of the President and the National Security Council Acts. I am happy that the Vice-Chairman was able to clarify the issue of the Attorney-General and the Seal. I am quite satisfied with the Committee's stand that the Seal remains with the Attorney-General. On the issue of National Government Coordination Act, my colleagues have dwelled on the issue of the CAS with the assumption on who the position has been made for and the reasons why. There have been a lot of mentions about the Constitution. This Constitution was made by the people and laws are made by the people, for the people. The law is not cast on stone and that is why even when we were supporting the BBI, there was an oversight on some few things when the Constitution was made. Remember when we were passing the Constitution, we were told 80 per cent was okay and we would amend 20 per cent. We went through a journey with Hon. Junet and the rest of the Members who were for the BBI. It was quite a loss when it was challenged. It is purported that the CASs positions will be held by politicians. One of the things that makes me support the Bill is that we have the role of the CASs and their qualifications spelt out. When Hon. Junet says that we will not get mama mboga, I would like to inform that they are not limited if they qualify. It is very important for us to go through the qualifications of the CAS. A mama mboga who is eligible with bachelor's degree qualifies. We have Mama mbogas with bachelor’s degrees."
