    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. He has accepted to be informed. I want to appreciate how he has elaborated this matter. I want to inform him as part of this discourse that Article 260 of the Constitution states what State offices are. It is from (a) President to (q) an office established and designated as a State office by national legislation. Article 234(3) states that: “Clauses (1) and (2) shall not apply to any of the following offices in the public service–– (a) State offices; (b) an office of high commissioner, ambassador or other diplomatic or consular representative of the Republic”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if there is a matter that needs to be addressed in the Constitution, then we can talk about amending it so that it takes care of the issue of State Officers. However, as it is today, under Article 234(3)(b), an office of high commissioner, ambassador or other diplomatic or consular representative of the republic is not subject to parts (1) and (2) of the same Article."
