    "content": " Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to add my views on this matter. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for considering this amendment in the Bill. I once served as a director of the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC) for three years and I was touted to serve for another three years if I were to be given the opportunity. The reason why I support this amendment is because today’s attitudes in the work place are derived from peoples’ personalities. The longer people stay in the same space, specifically in offices where they perform routine duties, the more they tend to lack efficiency. According to the Mwongozo Code of Governance for State Corporations, the three years was reviewed and it was considered for all the State corporations, Semi- Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs) as a reasonable time. This amendment will give opportunity to other Kenyans to serve. I also support what the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Hon. Atandi expressed. In the future, we will consider professionalism. These are people who will run the day-to-day activities of the authority. Lastly, this amendment will enable us to fight serious entrenchment of corruption. There is a survey that was done that showed the most corrupt people are those who have worked in a small area for too long because of complacency. This will help us fix most of the gaps that we have in the country and save resources, specifically on roads. We all need roads in this country. Through this legislation, we will save the country."
