"content": "Today I have given him a certificate from my side as the attorney of this country. The problem we have in these commissions is that there is no separation between the commissioners and the secretariat. The work that is done by every commission; majority of it or the core issues are handled by the secretariat. Commissioners want to muzzle the secretariat. So, we must give the secretariat mandate to do their work and we must give them some security. Parliament is not obliged to agree with the President, whether the President has sent it back here. That is his opinion and according to his advisors. But as the supreme body of law- making we must come up with a mechanism that is going to make sure that the laws we make here are beneficial to Kenyans. I want to plead with the Leader of Majority Party, who normally never disagrees with the President, to disagree with the President on this one so that we can give the EACC more powers and return back this matter. Let him marshal his troops. Let him send text messages to his troops and they will come now."
