    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the same matter, I think it is not fair to the people of the Republic of Kenya for us to just ignore a matter as pertinent as deployment of County Commissioners. Other departments have taken cue. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has already sent others. They have not followed the constitutional requirement about gender or other issues like regional representation. If we allow the Office of the President to lead in that direction we will be failing in our oversight responsibilities. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can I suggest that as one of the avenues, you give us a direction on whether the House can pass a resolution demanding that the Government follows the Constitution strictly, and that they should not establish structures that have no basis in law. This particular one has no basis whatsoever. This is because it is a new rank and new arrangement, yet the same Government has the opportunity to bring to us a Bill on any office that is not based on law."
