    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are also going to look at the calibre of staff employed at the constituency level. We will try to rationalise the terms of service of those employees. It was found out that some hon. Members have employed so many staff members that they pay them as little as Kshs3,000 per month. We have to standardise the staffing level by agreeing on the number of staff members that should be employed and their terms, so that they are in line with Government procedures and regulations. The Constituencies Development Fund (Amendment) Act, 2007 vests in the Minister for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 the following crucial duties, among other responsibilities:- (i) appointment eight persons; at least one from each of the listed professional organizations to the CDF Board, and one additional member in accordance with Section 5(3)e; (ii) appointment of four other persons to the CDF Board in accordance with Section 5(3)f, and (iii) appointment of the chairperson of the CDF Board in accordance with Section 5(4). It is pursuant to this that I have brought the names that I have mentioned for your approval. With those remarks, I beg to move and request my colleague Mr. Kiraitu to second."
