    "content": " You have overindulged me. Hon. Speaker, if you look at the functions of the Chief Administrative Secretary in the Bill – Hon. Mbui, again, please, help me find them. A Chief Administrative Secretary shall be responsible for responding to issues relating to the portfolio assigned to the office; liaising with Parliament; representing the Cabinet Secretary at any meeting as directed by the Cabinet Secretary; and performing any other duties assigned by the office of the Attorney-General or the relevant Cabinet Secretary. In other words, a plain reading of this Bill tells you that the Chief Administrative Secretary shall be responsible to the Cabinet Secretary. That means that he or she shall not be responsible to the Principal Secretary. In short, you are creating this office above that of the Principal Secretary. He or she is essentially a Deputy Cabinet Secretary. You are creating this office outside the Constitution. Hon. Speaker, we should be careful not to venture into this arena. If we do so, we shall be setting ourselves up, as a House, to very needless litigation. You already know what the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
