    "content": "give the CEOs complete autonomy to run those agencies independently. Therefore, part of the recommendations that we have made is that the agencies that do not have Boards must have them within three months. Those which have had their CEOS acting for a very long time with no apparent reason need to have the CEOs confirmed. We also noted that there are accounting officers who have been seconded from the mother Ministries to those organisations. The organisations do not have substantive officers that can be tasked to account. It is our wish that this House adopt this Report because we took a lot of time and went in-depth to look at every way in which we can assist those SAGAs to operate. Lastly, it will be noteworthy to mention some of the agencies that exist through an Act of Parliament, but are non-existent. Some were established through Presidential Executive Orders, but they are non-existent, or they only exist on paper but not physically. Sometimes, some of them have even been appropriated funds. As we have said in our Report, such agencies must be closed down so that public funds are not wasted. I request this House to support and adopt this Report to make those agencies accountable and those that are non-existent be scrapped out so that we have a better country for ourselves. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
