To that extent, I support the principle. We will look at it very seriously in the Committee of the whole House and see what amendments we can bring, so that this good principle that was brought out is actually achieved."

What the Chair and his Committee have done is quite commendable. They looked at the legal framework of the entire system and tried to address the inefficiencies which have been there over time. We know most of these Regional Development Authorities have not been efficient. They are a source of employment. We are trying to look at them afresh."

"content": "governance and membership of the boards. I once worked with the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC). The issue of many board members should not be there. I support this Bill. I also support the Member for Mandera who said that we still need to have that unique role of these authorities. There are things which the Authority in the northern part of the country is doing which are different from the Lake Basin Development Authority. So, I want us to look at them afresh. We need to see whether there is a loss for the Government. Are we allocating our money there but not doing what we are supposed to do? We must look at the mandate of these authorities which is not economic. They also look for social activities to support the region. We cannot look at the profit aspect. I support this Bill which will assist our people."
