    "content": "This House is not a rubber stamp. Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) are vetted by this House but when they get into office, they become untouchable. When the last SRC did the job ranking, it was very disappointing. The Member of Parliament who vets the CS was given position 43 while the CSs were given, I think, position 3 or 4. Whoever will come to SRC must look at the job description of a Member of Parliament. He has the academic qualification and still he has to be subjected to wananchi for purposes of voting. That alone qualifies him to be given a very high rank. The CSs are not voted for. A Member of Parliament is demeaned when he goes to the office of the CS yet we supervise them. This House can sack a CS and everybody else, including the President. As a matter of fact, the impeachment of the President is initiated in the National Assembly. So, whoever is in SRC should take note of that. I know they are watching. We are very disappointed with the work they have done. They must wake up because SRC is a very important Commission that must help harmonise salaries in this country and bring the wage bill to a manageable level."
