I thought I had already done so. I moved all my amendments wholesale. I also moved the amendment to sub-clause (6), which seeks to delete the words ―Public Service Commission‖ and substitute therefor the words ―selection panel‖. We are replacing it to ensure that the Public Service Commission is only providing secretarial services. The job will be done by the selection panel. This is just to align those sections to the amendments to sub-clause (5).

Hon Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to oppose that amendment, but not in a bad faith. I agree with what my colleagues are saying. However, if you look at it very keenly, hon. Ochieng is saying they will do an exceptional meeting at the highest level. Which level will it be? Is it at the level of the President or the head of military? So, that amendment alone is not very clear. I am opposing it because as a Committee, we have a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

better amendment which ensures that, one; all the confidential expenditure is audited. The matter in dispute is how to report the findings. This is something we have discussed with the Committee Members comprising both sides of the House. Do you allow me to move the Committee amendments? It is because we have already got all shades of opinion from Members from both sides of the House. We have also talked to the Treasury and the heads of those organs. In fact, we have spoken to the Auditor-General. So that we remove subjectivity from this matter of national security, I want ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have heard how the debate is going on and I request the hon. Members to reconsider this amendment. I want this House to consider an instance where the Auditor-General has been suspended in accordance with the Constitution. For how long can it be? It can take long. What happens during his suspension? Secondly, where the appointment of a person as Auditor-General is pending, what happens? We have Kenyans who always go to court to challenge anything. As we speak, the recruitment of police officers is pending because somebody went to court and challenged it. We ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, my comments are the same as those of hon. Bunyasi. Those are some of the good functions of the Office of the Chief Justice. The President was sworn in front of the Chief Justice. So, if the Office of the Auditor-General is special, as he said, even the Office of the President is special. That is why he was sworn in before the Chief Justice.
