At the same time, Speaker Moses Wetang’ula ruled that the Prime CS position is legally sound and constitutionally grounded after a section of Azimio MPs questioned its constitutionality.
"The committee has already received a total of 22 memorandums to various CS nominees which shall be disclosed to nominees during their vetting. According to our constitution, the president is allowed to have not less than 14 or more than 22 cabinet slots, and I hereby confirm that the Prime Cabinet Secretary is within the law," Wetang'ula stated.
