    "content": " This is the last day of the 12th Parliament and I want to close my parliamentary business with this amendment, so, it will go to vote. I want to ask those who are saying ‘only’ and ‘shall’ a very moral fundamental question. I am securing the current contract of the Commissioner-General of KRA in my amendment. Why are you anticipating? When his term expires, he will be subjected to a performance contract by the new board. Hon. Kimunya, I was the first Leader of the Majority Party and I served for seven-and-a- half years. When a Member is talking, I do not talk. By the way, the current Commissioner General of KRA is a very good friend of mine. He appeared a number of times before the Public Accounts Committee when it was chaired by Hon. Eseli and he is a very competent officer. We make laws for posterity and not for individuals. Since KRA is changing from an Authority to a Service, I am securing his term. How the second term will be dealt with is subject to the board that will be in place. So, I do not know why you are caring about ‘only’ and ‘shall’. You are anticipating what will happen when he is subjected to a contract. I have spoken 17,000 times in this House. I have checked in the Hansard, and I want to finish at 17,020 because this afternoon, I have other issues to raise. So, put the Question. Also, I brought about 2,200 amendments."
