    "content": "I am heading there. They are constitutional in nature. The President has cited Article 250(12) of the Constitution which falls under the sub-title ‘Commissions and Independent Offices”; Chapter 15 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. What is the President saying? The President is saying you cannot do discriminatory work. That is a constitutional provision. Article 250(12) says that all Chief Executive Officers of the following commissions--- I think they are about 15 and two independent offices; that of the Auditor-General and I think the one of the Controller of Budget. They will recruit their Chief Executive Officers competitively and if they violate the commission’s mandate, then the same commission that recruited has the powers to sack them. So, the proposed involvement in this case of the National Assembly in the removal of the Chief Executive Officer of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), in the opinion of the President and in citing Article 250(12), says that it is contrary again to another provision of the Constitution. If you read that part, you will find that it violates Article 250(2) of the Constitution with regard to hiring and firing of the Chief Executive Officer."
