    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am shocked, beyond belief, that a Minister of Government, who has taken an oath under the new Constitution, can stand up in this House and say that filling of positions in the county governments and a circular that purports to fill positions in the county governments is a routine administrative function that does not require the involvement of the Cabinet. Would he agree with me that the circular he is referring to, which he has indicted is a routine circular, undermines the very principle of devolution and that undermining of the Constitution actually amounts to an actionable criminal offence on the part of any civil servant or a Minister who defiles the clear language of the Constitution by purporting to fill vacancies administratively, when he knows that there is a procedure set out in the law on how to fill those positions?"
