"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I support the amendments proposed by the Leader of the Majority Party. This is a call to action for Members of Parliament because we are considering amendments that were sneaked in at the tail-end of the term of the 12th Parliament. This is a call for all of us to be awake, especially towards the tail-end of a term, so that we do not pass amendments that we again have to cure in the subsequent Parliament. Roads remains a very critical docket. The success of all the four factors of production, namely, land, entrepreneurship, capital and labour depends on their mobility, which is enhanced through our roads. If you want people to move from one place to another for work, or businesses to move their raw materials or finished goods to the market, or our children to go to school, roads are a critical docket. Therefore, we should take a keen interest in the people in those positions because roads are a backbone of the economy. Roads are one of the aspects that marginalise parts of this country. Many areas are completely inaccessible. Some constituencies and counties do not even have an inch of tarmac. With regard to marginalisation and the Equalisation Fund, we must finally, faithfully, and fully deliver on roads to ensure that everyone in the Republic of Kenya has equal and transparent access to basic services."

The roads sector is very critical because it helps in the movement of goods and services from one area to another.

"content": "has said, the term of most CEOs is three years according to the Mwongozo Code of Governance. Therefore, it is also right if we reduce the term of the director-general of State corporations in the roads sector to three years. It will create equity among the ministry departments and agencies (MDAs) and parastatals. I support the Bill because it is critical for the roads sector. Recently, I overheard someone criticising the 7 per cent securitisation not knowing that it has helped us in unlocking the roads that were not funded. I support the Bill. Asante sana ."

"content": " Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to add my views on this matter. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for considering this amendment in the Bill. I once served as a director of the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC) for three years and I was touted to serve for another three years if I were to be given the opportunity. The reason why I support this amendment is because today’s attitudes in the work place are derived from peoples’ personalities. The longer people stay in the same space, specifically in offices where they perform routine duties, the more they tend to lack efficiency. According to the Mwongozo Code of Governance for State Corporations, the three years was reviewed and it was considered for all the State corporations, Semi- Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs) as a reasonable time. This amendment will give opportunity to other Kenyans to serve. I also support what the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Hon. Atandi expressed. In the future, we will consider professionalism. These are people who will run the day-to-day activities of the authority. Lastly, this amendment will enable us to fight serious entrenchment of corruption. There is a survey that was done that showed the most corrupt people are those who have worked in a small area for too long because of complacency. This will help us fix most of the gaps that we have in the country and save resources, specifically on roads. We all need roads in this country. Through this legislation, we will save the country."

"content": " Thank you for the opportunity to also contribute to the Bill. The Bill harmonises the period that one is supposed to stay in office as a CEO with the provisions of the Mwongozo Code of Governance for State Corporations. That will create equity in service and give those who will be given the opportunity time limits to do their work and produce results. It will also regularise the time given. If someone has served for four years and was given a contract of five years, then they will also be given a contract to serve for five or six years. This creates equity. When the Mwongozo Code of Governance for State Corporations was being done, it was realised that when people stay in an office for too long, they tend to be redundant. Therefore, that introduces the fact that we need to reduce redundancy in these offices. That will give other people an opportunity to serve in the same offices. Therefore, I support the Bill."
