When many politicians lost elections as governors and Members of Parliament, is when the Government thought of where they could fix them. They said: “These people can help CSs run some errands.” I do not know whether they will be required now when they appear before Parliament to have letters written by CSs. The CSs should write them a letter. They should come with a letter where the CSs expressly says - even though he cannot delegate his powers - that they will hold brief for him. They should write: “I have sent so and so to this committee for today.” This is so that Members can give him an opportunity. At least, that letter can add him some constitutional weight. I also want to urge the House that we should not vilify them so much because we might find ourselves in that situation. I can guarantee you that if Hon. Ichung'wah had lost in the last election in Kikuyu Constituency, he would be a CAS for social work today, not even necessarily in the National Treasury."}
