Ministries need other officials to follow through – Elachi on CASs
Dagoretti North MP Beatrice Elachi has weighed in on the High Court’s ruling declaring the appointment of 50 CASs by President William Ruto as unconstitutional.
On Tuesday, she argued that ministries need other officials to follow up on the happenings.
“We have Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries but also remember the ministries have different departments which need people to follow through. You can’t just leave it to the PS,” Elachi said on Citizen Tv.
However, she faulted the Public Service Commission for failing to clearly state the mandate and role of the CAS.
“Public Service needs to ensure you put a mandate, without a CAS, the CS might run a ministry while leaving areas within their docket that is outside their field of expertise,” Elachi said.
She said the government should have called the post advisor to avoid the contention around its constitutionality.
“The government went wrong was calling it CASs. These are positions that have always been there but under different names; advisors,” Elachi said.
“I wish the government would have just retained that because it has worked for many years it’s only that people have never followed through to know.” BY THE STAR
