    "content": "offices mentioned there are the offices of the Auditor-General and the Controller of Budget. This is under Article 248 of the Constitution. Article 252(1)(c) of the Constitution talks about the general functions and powers. It says, among other things: “Each commission and each holder of the independent office – (c) shall recruit its own staff.” It is like saying today that we will tell Parliament to seek approval of the Public Service Commission to employ its own staff. That will be saying that one commission or independent office is bigger than the other, yet all of them are the same under Article 248."
