    "content": " I have heard my sister very well. However, you see children can come through many ways. They can come biologically or through test tubes. Cabinet secretaries and principal secretaries are coming biologically, CASs test-tube- wise. It is the way you take or understand it. We are creating 22 offices in a statute that will cost Kenyans billions of shillings. A CAS will earn over Ksh1 million or something close to that. He or she will have transport, a car assigned, offices, staff and all manner of packages that come with it. Not now in this country, when the whole of the Kenya Kwanza Government is talking about reviving the economy. They are saying this economy is in the doldrums and they are trying to revive it. Is this the right time to create such offices at the expense of Kenyans who are suffering and being taxed? No! Our conscience, as a House, must say no. The President can give the 22 people other jobs. The Government is like an elephant. The President can hide you somewhere inside there and earn as much as you want. An office does not have to be created. I can tell you without any fear of contradiction that if we go this way, very soon they will table another Bill to create offices for other people, religious people, and Muslim and Christian leaders, to pray for us every day. We cannot go that way as a country. We gave ourselves a Constitution that came through the sweat and blood of the people of Kenya. We proscribed all offices and functions in the Constitution."
