All the others are civil servants and, virtually, all the council members will be appointed by the President. We are trying to put a saving grace by saying that they will be brought to the National Assembly for approval. I have never seen a council or an institution where everybody is literally appointed by the President. Even the permanent secretaries and all the stakeholders will be appointed by the President. Even if they are brought to the National Assembly, we will be denying Kenyans opportunity to participate. Clause 7 takes every power of that council under the cabinet secretary. So, he will do everything like advising and directing. The best way is to just make the council a department of a ministry. We should not pretend that this Bill is creating a council. This is merely a department of a ministry."
