    "content": "Hon. (Dr) Nyikal, as a House of Parliament, we are a House of records. And the record we have is a Communication from the Executive Office of the President. It must be in writing and signed by the President. And it is right here. You can see the President’s signature. And this is the Communication Letter from the Head of Public Service. The President, like anybody else, has the right to change his mind on what he has decided. What is important is the record that comes to this House. The record that has arrived in this House is what I have read to you. Remember that nobody will become a Cabinet Secretary until and unless the President has written to Parliament and two, until Parliament has sat in Committee and vetted them; and, three, until the whole House has voted on the report of the vetting Committee. That is what is important. We have had cases before where people were pronounced in the media as having been appointed as ambassadors and we received communication that showed they had been transposed from one station to another, and we have vetted them without any question. In any case, the proposed names that I have read to you are not Cabinet Secretaries until you pass them in this House. So, there is nothing inconsistent. Hon. Kaluma."
