    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also have a problem with Clause 26 which says that the expenses and allowances for these Board Members, after we have chosen them, are going to be determined by the Minister in charge of Finance in consultation with the Committee the National Assembly designated for that purpose. I have been in Committees of the House and feel that this is an unnecessary delay. I think we need to get these bottlenecks that can take time out of the way. We all know that the civil service has a way of grading and graduating commissions. So, let us not say that we are creating a new commission that is going to be paid US$1 million or something. There are commissions which have been there and scales have been set up. They are coming into Government service. So, if they can accept those terms, they will take them. There is nothing like negotiating. Even when we come into this House, we already know what we are going to be paid. There is nothing like coming here to negotiate with the Speaker how much I shall be paid for being the Member for Garsen. It is already set up. So, these kind of provisions waste time and are completely unnecessary."
