    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think you have explained it. I just wanted to say that Hon. Otiende Amollo is one of the renowned lawyers in this country. I cannot even pretend to match his knowledge in law. However, I also understand because I participated in making the current Constitution. The Constitution is supposed to be interpreted in a manner that would promote its usage. If Hon. Otiende Amollo went even further to part (b) of what he read, he would realise that it says, “unless ex officio or part-time, shall not hold any other office or employment for profit, whether public or private.” The argument would be that no MP would sit in this Commission because all MPs hold other offices and are being remunerated and getting profit. It is clear to me; there is no ambiguity that the PSC is not guided by the provisions of this Article. Hon. Speaker, this is the value of experience as opposed to knowledge. Because of my experience, probably I have something a little extra than my great lawyer colleague who would ordinarily represent me when the Government decides to misbehave by arresting me anyhow. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to ask my friend to take that counsel."
