    "content": "allowed that leeway. I understand that, currently, he does not have any powers. That is unfortunate because that falls directly under his docket. I have noticed that within the education industry, we have a problem. There are teachers who report to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), and then we have Ministry officials who report to the CS. Many a times you wonder: What is it that a sub-county education officer is supposed to do and yet, there is also a sub-county staffing officer for the TSC? Those are some of the areas that we need to look at. I support that the CS be given some powers to deal with those issues. The last amendment is to the Kenya Law Reform Commission Act. It is the only one that I would like to oppose. That is because I had the privilege of speaking to some of the people concerned and they raised the concern that the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has noticed that we are giving too much authority to the Attorney-General. He is going to end up nominating quite a number of members to that Commission, which obviously means that he will have controlling interests. It means he will take complete control of the board. It is important that we look at this carefully. I am happy that the Chair has proposed that he will bring some amendments so that we can pass this in totality. With those few remarks, Hon. Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity."
