    "content": "the CS and his Director-Generals were in this Chamber in a Joint Committee sitting with the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, there is no reason why - after the President has created a position of Administrative Secretary to assist the CS and PS on administrative matters - they would appear pretending to answer questions before committees of Parliament. Hon. Speaker, it is up to you and your office to safeguard the dignity and honour of this House by stating clearly what is in our Standing Orders. Only a CS or a PS can appear before a committee of Parliament. I have seen one CAS holding night meetings with groups of youths who do not have a very good reputation. I have seen the former Nairobi County Member of Parliament, Rachel Shebesh, holding night meetings with the Mungiki. If that is anywhere within the definition of administrative work, she can be allowed to hold night meetings with Mungiki, Chinkororo and all other illegal groups. Kibra, as it is said in Kiswahili, imeleta tumbo joto . It has really done that. It should not be an excuse for those CASs to act in a way that brings dishonour to the offices they hold. They should not act in a way that will bring dishonour to that office. You must be careful who you meet during the day and even at night, when you are a CAS. If you are being sent to a parliamentary committee to answer questions… Imagine if Rachel Shebesh was CAS in the Ministry of the Interior and Coordination of National Government, how would she answer questions to deal with the Mungiki menace?"
