    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I really want to sympathise with Hon. Omboko. But it is also not true that it is only teachers who are being removed because even faith-based organisations had representatives and they have lost their representation on the Board. The fact that we have an umbrella body of employers, the FKE, on which the TSC qualifies to sit in, and the umbrella body representing unions, COTU, that teachers can join, I think they are well represented. In principle, because I had an amendment similar to that of Hon. Mbadi, we had an extensive engagement with the Chair and the Leader of the Majority Party and we agreed kuongozwa na Mwongozo . The Mwongozo policy is to have a lean board of nine members. The practice is consistent in most State corporations. This Fund being a State corporation, it is only fair that we leave it as it is. I was also very uncomfortable with health professionals sitting on this Board. What if tomorrow actuaries also demand a slot, because this is now an insurance Fund? There is a case for actuaries to sit on the Board. There could also be a very strong case for matatu drivers and touts being contributors through their association, to also demand for a seat on the Board. Therefore, let us allow the amendment as proposed by the Chair. I support the further amendment by the Chair."
