"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is common knowledge that under this new constitutional dispensation, even for Cabinet Secretaries (CSs), this House has a role in their appointment and also their removal. Therefore, if we are to guarantee the Secretary to the EACC independence in carrying out his duties, it is important to also assure him that the chairman of EACC or the board that is in charge of EACC cannot arbitrarily remove the Secretary or the CEO without recourse to this House. Therefore, it gives the CEO or the Secretary that safety net to know that he can perform his duties well knowing that Members of Parliament who are also partners in the fight against corruption in this country are with him and will safeguard his job."
