    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Having served in the commission in the last Parliament, the reason that arose for creation of more than one accounting officer is the unique nature of Parliament. Previously, we had a unicameral Parliament, in which case an accounting officer could be in charge of everybody and there was no problem. When we got to a bicameral Parliament, we saw the need for the National Assembly to be managed on its own, with an accounting officer, and the Senate to be managed on its own, with an accounting officer. I think there is another Service which Hon. Wamalwa also referred to. It is the Joint Services. It has services that serve both the National Assembly and the Senate. For example, accounting services and cleaning services. Currently, it is a bit difficult to say who will pay half for this and another half for the other. So, when the Commission seeks to have authority to create another accounting officer or other accounting officers, it is just for ease of management. Therefore, I do not see that there will be any mischief in that."
