"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, in law, we have the Articles that provide for the removal from office of public and State officers. However, this Bill does not speak to that. For example, removal of a CAS from office is not mentioned anywhere. I hope the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs Committee is listening to this and together with his committee they will take that into consideration. The other thing I want to speak to is the duplication of responsibilities that are outlined for the CAS position. On liaising with Parliament, every ministry in this country has a liaison person to Parliament. Why are we duplicating this role? We have even mentioned that there will be a liaison person to the county government. Part of the memorandum of objects and reasons clearly states that this Bill does not affect the functions and powers of county governments yet it says that one of the roles of a CAS is to liaise with county governments. So, what is going to inform this role in that sense if this Bill already says that they work with them? In essence, what we are trying to create is an additional personal assistant to the cabinet 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"
