    "content": "CONCERNED that despite the provisions of Article 108 of the Constitution, the Senate has irregularly established and caused the Parliamentary Service Commission to facilitate and continues to irregularly facilitate the offices of the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party that are unknown to the Constitution and any of the written laws in Kenya; AND WHEREAS Article 132 of the Constitution generally mandates the National Assembly to receive names of persons nominated for appointment to the public office by the President, vet their suitability or otherwise and to appoint or reject their appointment; CONCERNED that despite the express provision of the Constitution, the Senate continues to participate in the approval of appointment of persons to State offices through a duplicate process, resulting in a procedure unknown to bicameral parliaments anywhere in the world, since in bicameralism vetting of persons for appointment to State and public offices is exclusively vested in one House only; CONCERNED THAT despite the express provisions of Article 95(5)(b) of the Constitution, the Senate has established parallel committees duplicating the mandate of the committees in the National Assembly and county assemblies and has on diverse occasions sought to exercise oversight over State organs in a manner that does not accord with the functions of the county governments outlined under Part 2 of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution;"
