"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also support this amendment which has been brought in by the Leader of the Majority Party. The roads sector is a very sensitive sector in this economy. We need people who are very serious in their work there. Bringing these amendments of changing the term limit from five years to three years, that is renewable for another three years, means that somebody must work hard so that he can be given another term to serve in that position. This is, therefore, a very good amendment. I believe we will adhere to what the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee said, that we should also look into making sure that we get engineers to occupy those positions. I beg to support."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I reply, allow me to thank the Members who have contributed in support of this Bill. Hon. Atandi has alluded to the fact that the Director General of the Kenya Roads Board is in office only because he is an engineer. I assure him that we will look at qualifications issue. I do not know whether the Kenya Roads Board deals with engineering work. Therefore, one may be the chief executive officer without being an engineer at the board level. However, the road agencies are in charge of implementing actual construction of roads. I agree that their CEOs must be engineers and ought to be professionally qualified."

"content": "The Kenya Roads Board is in the same sector with the road agencies. The only difference is that the road agencies are under the Kenya Roads Act, while the Kenya Roads Board is under the Kenya Roads Board Act. The fact that they are in the same sector, and in line with the principles set out in the Mwongozo Code of Governance, it is important to have consistency."
