"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to second this Bill and to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing it to the House. As he has put it so well, this Bill, as brief as it is, is very significant. It seeks to amend Section 13 of the Roads Act (Cap. 408) to be in line the Mwongozo Code of Governance for State Corporations. It is important for us as legislators to ensure that we are dynamic so that legislation addresses present circumstances. We are proposing a three-year term for the CEO, renewable only once. There is a key line that says renewal will be subject to satisfactory performance of the person holding the office. It will not be automatic that whoever holds the position will have their term renewed. You have to demonstrate that you have performed your duties satisfactorily. It is important to mention the transitional provisions in the Bill. They will ensure that those in office are protected. We should not leave any ambiguity in law. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to second."
