    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I am inviting you to make a ruling before we proceed with this Bill. First, on the issue of the Head of Public Service, the Bill is attempting to establish this office outside the Constitution. When you read Article 154 of the Constitution, it establishes the office of the Secretary to the Cabinet with very clear functions and powers. I will not read it because it is clear and Members can read for themselves. As a matter of fact, if you allow me because I want to be mindful of time, Article 154 establishes the Office of the Secretary to the Cabinet, which is an office in the public service. It goes on to enumerate the functions of this office as: 1. have charge of the Cabinet Office; 2. be responsible for arranging the business, and keeping the minutes, of the Cabinet; 3. convey the decisions of the Cabinet to the appropriate persons or authorities; and, 4. have other functions as directed by the Cabinet. What this Bill is assigning this office is laughable and I will ask Hon. Mbui to assist me, for the time being."
