"content": "Principle. This principle limits the terms of service for all chief executive officers to three years and is designed to promote good governance in the management of State corporations and their boards. As I said, this practice is standard across all State corporations, with the sole exception of the road sector boards, which were extended to five years. The third clause in this Bill ensures that those individuals who have served a period exceeding three years and are currently in their first term of five years will not be eligible for renewal of either five or three years, which would exceed the total service limit of six years comprised of two three-year terms. Thus, any extension granted to them will be limited to an additional period of one year, ensuring that their total service does not exceed six years, aligning with the practices of other State corporations and adhering to the Code of Governance for State corporations. Therefore, given that this is a very concise Bill, I kindly request your support."

"content": " As I stated, this amendment also aims to enhance efficiency in the delivery of services within our State corporations, particularly in the road sector. Members of Parliament, being some of the principal clients of this road sector, may hear from directors general who believe they serve a five-year term. Some have referred to Members of Parliament as individuals who are soon to depart from office. I have heard remarks such as, “Leave this one. This is their third year in office, yet I am here for five years; you will depart and leave us in these offices.” Hon. Temporary Speaker, you know how sensitive roads are to our constituents. Therefore, it is imperative that we have directors-general or chief executive officers in these State corporations who are responsive to the needs of the people. There is no more significant way to demonstrate responsiveness to the citizens' needs than by listening to their The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

I urge that we all support this amendment, so that we align with the Mwongozo Principle and the Code of Governance for State corporations, while also enhancing efficiency in service delivery to Kenyans and promoting good corporate governance within our State corporations, akin to the practices within the private sector. The CEO will serve for three years, renewable based on performance. With those many remarks, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move and request Hon. Irene Mayaka to second."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to second this Bill and to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing it to the House. As he has put it so well, this Bill, as brief as it is, is very significant. It seeks to amend Section 13 of the Roads Act (Cap. 408) to be in line the Mwongozo Code of Governance for State Corporations. It is important for us as legislators to ensure that we are dynamic so that legislation addresses present circumstances. We are proposing a three-year term for the CEO, renewable only once. There is a key line that says renewal will be subject to satisfactory performance of the person holding the office. It will not be automatic that whoever holds the position will have their term renewed. You have to demonstrate that you have performed your duties satisfactorily. It is important to mention the transitional provisions in the Bill. They will ensure that those in office are protected. We should not leave any ambiguity in law. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to second."
