    "content": "People who have been masquerading in those positions for the last five years should be held accountable and the Auditor-General should raise an issue on the monies that they have used for the last four years. There is no reason why the Constitution created those positions in the National Assembly and never created them in the Senate. It is very clear that this House is superior because it has the majority leader and minority leader. I support Hon. Mbadi, but those who are masquerading there must report to the majority leader and the minority leader of this House. Those are masqueraders of the Constitution and they should be held accountable. Sometimes the spirit can come in many ways. Even Roho Mtakatifu is a spirit as Christians say. The spirit comes naturally, but we have to read the Constitution to the letter as it is and what it says. Those two leaders should only be found in the National Assembly. It did not even say Parliament, because we would have said the Senate can be included. It specifically says “the National Assembly”. So, who are we to purport to change the Constitution and create positions in that House? They can have the Chairman of the Liaison Committee to be in charge of everything of that House. Hon. Speaker, you are the Parliamentary Service Commission Chairman. You are the President of the Legislature. When audit queries are raised, you will be held accountable."
