    "content": "This law will define the functions and powers of the Commission. What is the function and powers of the Parliamentary Service Commission? This role will define the role of the Secretary to the Commission and the functions of the two Clerks. There is a story out there in our country. I am not against our Clerks because they are performers. I served under the late Mr. Ndindiri, Mr. Gichohi, Mr. Bundi and now under Mr. Sialai. They are very competent and men of integrity. When I walk there, I have a lot of respect for them the way I see my former teachers in the school and university I attended. Every parastatal or Government institution’s position has a limit. We passed laws last week that you can be a Chief Executive Officer or accounting officer, for one term which is renewable based on your performance. You cannot have a Clerk who will be here for 20 or 30 years. Even as Members of Parliament, we do not have that luxury. We always beg our voters to give us another chance so that we can get the pension. This will help us to protect the Secretary to the Commission. What is the role and functions of the Secretary to the Commission, so that if the Commissioners violate his rights, the law protects him?"
