    "content": "The only State officers who are banned from holding offices in political parties in terms of Article 77(2) of the Constitution are appointed State officers. That then begs the question whether you are appointed, elected or nominated. That should be food for thought. Several Members who were in the 10th Parliament had occasion to discuss this, and I know Hon. Ababu would remember the issue of appointed State officers. What would you call a minister then who was deemed to be in the transition clauses an appointed State officer? Nevertheless, most of them if not all were also elected. Hon. Chepkong’a raised a very valid point on implementing a presidential system with nostalgia for some aspects of the parliamentary structure that we got used to in the course of the last 50 years. Hon. Ochieng, I can see that Hon. Munuve’s intervention is earlier than yours."
