    "content": "It does not cost anybody anything to pick a copy of the Parliamentary Service Bill, look at it and see what it talks about. It is very sad that senior editors - I have a lot of respect for journalists who have worked in Parliament for a long time – but the term “greed” can misinform the nation on the Parliamentary Service Bill. In Chapter Fifteen of the Constitution, there are 13 commissions and two independent office holders. This House, from the 10th, 11th and now the 12th Parliament has completed the actualisation or legislated all the commissions and today they have an Act of Parliament that they use in their day to day operations. The National Land Commission, Kenya Human Rights Commission, Equality Commission, Teachers Service Commission, Public Service Commission, Judicial Service Commission and the Law Society of Kenya have Acts of Parliament. But it is very sad that this House has not legislated Article 127 that creates the Parliamentary Service Commission. The salary of a Member of Parliament as per the Constitution is decided by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. In fact, to put it in the Parliamentary Service Bill is unconstitutional and even the Speaker would not allow it."
