    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, allow me to join my colleagues in congratulating the great Member for Pokot South, Hon. Pkosing, for bringing a wonderful Bill. I support this Bill fully especially when I am looking at its inheritance from the Act of 2007 and now we are aligning it to the Constitution, 2010. We are doing this a bit late, but better late than never. Hon. Pkosing, I salute and thank you together with your Committee for doing this wonderful job. There are three issues in this Bill we need to address. First, is the appointment of the Director-General and how he/she comes to office. I want to thank the Committee because they have given us the qualifications which are good and I agree with them. I want to deviate a little bit on the issue of reducing the years from 15 to 10, and I speak as a Member who has served in the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. Although our Bill did not see the light of the day in 2015, we participated in the preparation of legislation in terms of how a Director-General comes into office."
