Temporary Speaker, in cognisance of the very important role that libraries play in the world, I really commend the drafter and the Committee for a well-thought Bill that will give a new breath of life to KNLS, with good and improved governance and the assurance to reach the sub-county level. As I read the Bill, one of the things that I would like to be amended is the qualification of the board members. I find it very discriminative that the chairperson must have 10 years of experience in a senior level. That locks out many of the young people who can become board members. Interestingly, for you to become a member, you require five years of experience in a management position. That is a very bad precedent in terms of what has been ailing this country regarding the joblessness among the young people. I wonder why we are normally obsessed with years of experience rather than the quality of experience. I believe many Members here got a chance to be Members of Parliament without prior experience.
