The other issue was the appointment of board members. There is a Member who proposed that we remove the words “competitive process in the nomination”. I agree with this because in many areas, we have specified who are supposed to sit in the board. Therefore, I agree to that proposal. We will refine the Bill during the Committee of the whole House. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other area of concern is the involvement of Members of Parliament. Their inclusion in the Board seeks to ensure coordination between the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and other Government agencies for robust resource allocation. Without MPs’ involvement, there is the risk of duplication or uneven distribution of funds, leading to inefficiencies. If there is need to improve this provision, there will be enough time during the Committee of the whole House for anyone who has an amendment. Another area of concern to Members is on co-option of additional experts. The Bill allows for co-opting of experts when necessary, particularly in specialised areas like Information and Communication Technology (ICT), if required."
