    "content": "If you look at the issues that have been raised, it is clear that in a number of instances, the Cabinet Secretary accepted in broad day light that, indeed, by purporting to create the office of the Director-General of Lands in the Ministry, she violated Article 234(2)(a)(i) of the Constitution. You can go further and establish that by looking at the appointments that she purported to make, namely appointing Mr. Peter Kahuho, redesignating Mr. Zablon Mabea as the Lands Secretary, transferring the Director of Survey and his deputy and appointing others to their position, the Cabinet Secretary violated the Constitution at Article 234(2)(a)(ii). By bypassing the office of the Attorney-General in the processing of the legal notices she purported to create the new office in the department and make the purported appointment of Mr. Kahuho, the Cabinet Secretary contravened the guidelines on proposed legislation as per the Government circular of February, 2002. You can go further and find that by conferring on Mr. Kahuho the powers to sign title deeds, obviously the Cabinet Secretary contravened the Constitution under Article 262 and the provisions of the Sixth Schedule. Hon. Speaker, Sir, this litany of transgressions can go on and on. But the upshot of it is that the Cabinet Secretary, by doing all these things violated the oath of office she took on her appointment. This is in contravention of Article 152(4)(a) and the Third Schedule of the Constitution. I can even read it, if given time. Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is obvious--- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
