    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, with a lot of humility and respect, I know Hon. Cheptumo is a seasoned lawyer. We must read different provisions of the Constitution and certain sections of different Acts of Parliament holistically. Article 127 of the Constitution confers powers of appointment and constituting offices to the Commission. If you read Articles 126, 127 and 128 of the Constitution, you will see that the functions of the two Clerks are clearly spelt out. The Director of the Centre for Parliamentary Studies and Training is a creation of the Commission according to Article 127 of the Constitution. Therefore, for one to come around and try to circumvent us to bring another office equivalent to the Clerks is unconstitutional. Therefore, I want to beg Hon. Cheptumo to withdraw this amendment. It is an indirect way of creating a third Clerk and that is not what is envisaged under Article 127."
