The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party now says that Kenyans need a saviour, and not created offices that will spend the taxpayers' money.
In a statement, the Raila Odinga-led party said Kenyans are hungry and they are hurting.
The party also hit out at President William Ruto who has promised to bring down the price of gas, saying that Kenyans don't need it because they have nothing to cook.
The party insisted that what Kenyans need at the moment is food, jobs and medication, not CAS positions.
"Kenyans are hungry. Kenyans are hurting. Kenyans are suffering. They need a saviour. They do not need CAS positions. They do not need billions of shillings being spent on renovating big men’s bedrooms. They do not need gas without food to cook. They want food, jobs and medication," the party tweeted.
The statement by the opposition party came shortly after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua explained why it was important for their administration to have chief administrative secretaries.
The DP said Cabinet Secretaries have a lot of work that requires them to travel outside the country, and they need to leave someone in-charge, while away.
Gachagua insisted that the benefits of having the CASs will outweigh the cost the taxpayers will incur funding their offices and paying their salaries.
"The minister for Agriculture is hardly in the country and needs to leave someone here to handle other matters that need to be handled by the minister...There's a gap and we need another level of helpers to enable us to execute our mandate and the president and I and the rest of us agree with it. The benefits of having CASs will outweigh the cost," the deputy president said.
He further explained that the government is getting to a point where they are stuck, when the CSs travel.
