Having said this, I want to request the Minister that before we move to the Committee Stage and Third Reading of this Bill – we shall be there in the usual manner – he should undertake further consultations. Consider some of the little comments we are making here. I am not an expert in this thing but there are experts out there. We would like you to undertake consultations within the Government as well as with players in the private sector, and with non-State players. We are requesting the Minister to also consider having consultations with other international stakeholders. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the Minister undertakes these consultations, he will have attended to the point that hon. Mungatana has so well articulated about why we want to pretend that we are offering something new when all we are doing is asking a Cabinet Secretary, whom, by the way, we do not want to go and start micro-managing anything for us--- We want our Cabinet Secretaries to be busy running our Ministries and servicing those areas that this law will ask them to go and micro-manage. If the Minister does not do this, then what this law will simply have done is that it will just have repackaged the Kenya Institute of Administration (KIA) in a different manner. We want a situation where we will break away from the KIA because, as you said, this was a gift from the colonial government, and for which hon. Mungatana said they should not use the same module. They have their own school of government in their motherland. They were doing this so as to create people they would use to control the “natives”. We do not want to be controlled because we are not “natives”. We are Kenyans who are native residents of the areas they wanted to control. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in 1962, the late Patrice Lumumba told the King of England that black people had refused his rule, and that they were no longer going to be their monkeys. How come 50 years later, we are still using the same module that was designed to confine us in our native areas? The issue of approach to the school is not really clear in my mind what I want, but I think there are professionals out there, who can listen to what I am saying. In my mind, I see the role of the school as being one of providing some co-ordinated approach so as to improve performance within the Public Service in all aspects of public service; a co- ordinated approach aimed at devising, upholding and promoting a Public Service in values and ethics. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason as to why medical doctors still remain professional is because we spend a lot of time in our training, in the final year at the medical school, on ethics. This is because it would be disastrous to have a doctor handling an unsuspecting public, knowing very well that he does not know what he is treating but still orders medication and pumps it into the patient. The end result of such an action is that, having found no disease in the system, the medication turns against the patient. So, we want a school that can teach our children ethics, so that they respect the employer. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, recently the Government introduced the concept of performance contracting. This is the right time for stakeholders to now think through and see how the aspect of performance contracting can be advanced beyond just a competition of Ministers being given recognition on a particular day by the Prime"
