    "content": "Clause 5(2) is even more interesting. It says ‘the Commission may, in furtherance of its functions, collaborate with such other bodies or organisations within or outside Kenya as it may consider necessary for the better performance of its functions under the Act.” In essence, this means that the proposed authority can seek collaboration with ministries independently, which may cause problems. When dealing with matters outside Kenya, which authority will move to international organisations and seek collaboration without going through the necessary diplomatic channels of the country? There are many other problems that can be pointed out in this Bill. Clause 7 (1) of the Bill appoints the authority. This is the most interesting of all the clauses. There is a chairperson who will be appointed by the President, with the approval of Parliament. How can the President and Parliament approve appointment to an authority which is not constitutional? Let me summarise because I can see my time is up."
