    "content": "As I conclude because I do not want to extend the debate, I just want to urge this House that there is a lacuna in our Constitution which, as Members of this House, we must address. If you look at Article 130 of the Constitution, it talks of the National Executive of the Republic, which is composed of the President, Deputy President, Attorney-General and Cabinet Secretaries. Nowhere does it outline the duties of the Cabinet Secretaries. When you look at Article 155, it says that the Principal Secretaries will be in charge of administration and it stops there. I foresee a possibility that there could be a crush between those two very powerful constitutional offices. As I conclude, I want to urge this House that it is our duty to bring a Bill to this House to define clearly the functions of the Cabinet Secretaries and the Principal Secretaries, so that we do not have problems arising from the unclear definition of roles."
