    "content": "Yes, I thought by raising it at this moment, we would allow you time to make a communication. Ordinarily, issues like these do not find a clear-cut procedure on our Order Paper. You can see what is happening at the counties, the operations and activities are completely stalled; but more fundamentally, you remember this Commission gazetted salaries of State officers on 4th March 2013. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission has in the past indicated that this was done because of a job evaluation report from PricewaterhouseCoopers. I have evidence that the report was submitted to this Commission on 11th March, 2013. If at all the Salaries and Remuneration Commission relied on that report, how could they rely on a report which was submitted after they had already gazetted the salaries of State officers? This is a clear case of incompetence, and if that petition cannot be transacted, then I think we should be allowed under Article 251 to initiate a process of removing this Commission, because it has failed Kenyans; you can see what is happening, the allowances of various commissions are completely unmanageable, they are doing nothing about it since they came to office more than two years ago. This Commission has not done anything on allowances of the entire public service of this country. That is why they are in office. I was therefore asking the Chair to give a communication to this House on whether that petition is still open, if it is not, I think some of us should be allowed and I am ready to do it, to initiate a process of removing this Commission under Article 251 of the Constitution.
