While Speaking in an exclusive Interviews with a local media house, Maangi who unsuccessfully vied for the Kisii county Senatorial seat claimed that the amount of money the Chief Administrative Secretaries would be be paid is like a drop of water in an Ocean.
Maangi noted that these Chief Administrative Secretaries would add a lot of values to the Government hence whatever they are being paid should not be an issue
“This nonsense about CASs being paid too much money is far from the truth. 50 CASs earning an average of Sh. 700,000 is nothing in this budget. It is a drop in the sea. You are not looking at the value they are bringing.” The former Kisii Deputy governor said.

However, Kenyans were quick to tell off the former Deputy governor with majority insisting that there is no value the Chief Administrative Secretaries would add to the Government. Those who reacted also Insisted that the amount that would be paid to the chief Administrative Secretaries is huge and can be channelled to some other projects. Below are some of the comments by Kenyans:
Mahbub: The Cabinet secretaries and Principal secretaries are enough. CAS will add Zero value. Yes, by high Court dismissing the irrelevant CAS, over 5B taxpayers money will now be saved annually.
Muthoni Delima: They should do other jobs and earn that ‘drop in the sea’. They must have so many options.
S N Nyamora: What value will someone like Maangi bring?. Even one CAS is a total waste of our hard earned taxes. The constitution doesn’t envisage the CAS nonsense.
Paul Mboya: If they are of value, why weren’t they considered as important in the constitution design?.
Dutchess Of Khwisero: Tht 700 000 can change the life of a child by providing them wth books. It can hlp stock medicines in a remote hsptl in the country. It can hlp the cancer patients get medicines witht spending so much tht they dnt even. The court’s ruling was the best, hoping it remains so.
