That is what led to the bringing into force of this Act and the creation of the KACC. The KACC is a creature of this House and is a special institution. It is not a department in the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. It is not a parastatal. It is a special institution for a special purpose. That is why in setting it up, Parliament went to great lengths to create systems special for that institution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is exempt from a lot of the Acts that parastatals fall under. That is why we created special salaries for that institution. That is why the officers of that institution are employed in a different manner than those in the general Civil Service. The procedure is very clear. It is not Parliament that appoints those people."}
