    "content": "“There shall be a Secretary to each Commission, who shall be appointed by the Commission and the Chief Executive Officer of the Commission”. So, the actual day to day management, executive authority by the will of the Kenya people, is vested in the Secretary who will be in charge of the Secretariat. He will be appointed by the Commission. You notice that the Constitution does not require that this man comes here to be approved by the House. It is deliberate. I was in all this debate from Bomas. It is deliberate because you do not want to elevate the Secretary to the level of a Commissioner. We want him to know that he is appointed by the Commission. By so doing, you want to the Commission to know that it is independent to recruit its own Chief Executive Officer. Therefore, yet again, with extreme humility, I recommend to my beautiful country that we consider this Bill the way we have designed it because it has given us a lot of problems."
