    "content": "I know the Member for Ruaraka has an intervention. But, of course, I agree with Hon. John Mbadi on what is provided for in Articles 248 and 250 of the Constitution about the number of commissions and their composition. Our Commission, the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) has 10 Members. The JSC has 11 members and the very famous Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has 14 members. In fact, members to that commission from other organisations like the accountants and others are also elected by those bodies. Very soon, I am sure; you will be dealing with them here. Therefore, I appreciate the fact that the law appears to be fluid that the interpretations are as varied, as the former Member for Gem who said that the interpretations are as many as there are lawyers. But of course, ultimately we are all powered by what is provided for in Article 165 of the Constitution, that the High Court is given the mandate to interpret. But the same Constitution enjoins every State and public officer in implementing this Constitution by interpreting it. Just read it again. It says that all of you including, Hon. John Mbadi, are capable of interpreting it because you are a State officer. It says that you should interpret it. But the final interpretation is made by the courts. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
