    "content": "Accountability goes with the ability to make decisions. I see no problem with a CAS leading a delegation before a parliamentary committee to answer questions. As has been said, though we cannot equate an Assistant Minister with a CAS, the assistant ministers were in the former Constitution while the CASs are not in the present Constitution. Again, this is more of a political decision. If you remember very well, in the first administration of the Jubilee Government, there were no CASs. In the second, there are CASs. If they were of much value to the running of the ministries, then we would have had CASs in all ministries. But as it is now, we do not have them in all ministries. In my Committee, for example, there is no CAS for Defence. In the previous Constitution, we had Assistant Ministers for all ministries. Most importantly, we should ensure that there is transparency and ability to make decisions. As Hon. Dr. Kimunya has said, the Ministers were signing the answers."
