    "content": "provisions for all estimated expenditures of the Service for the financial year and in particular provide for salaries, acquisition and construction, maintenance of buildings, pension, proper maintenance and repair and replacement of equipment and creation of reserve funds. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Clause 21 talks about the Service keeping or cause to be kept proper books and records of its income, expenditure, assets and liabilities. Then there is the vesting of assets. All assets whether moveable or immovable, registered in the name of or otherwise belonging to any of the departments referred to in the Acts of Parliament set out in the First Schedule or in the Act repealed by any of the Acts referred to in the First Schedule shall upon coming into effect with this Act vest in the Service. What will happen to the staff? Until the Board is constituted and it has competitively recruited for all the positions in accordance with this Act, the staff of any department or public officer employed by the Government for the purposes of providing the services under the laws specified in the First Schedule immediately before the commencement of this Act shall continue to provide such services in their previous positions on previous terms and conditions of employment. So, no employee should worry that they may lose their entitlements. Lastly, the Cabinet Secretary, in consultation with the Board, may make such regulations as shall be necessary for the better carrying out of the provisions of this Act. Just to urge you one more time that this is a good Bill. We have thought about it. We have benchmarked for it. Most of the countries have now gone this direction. South Africa is going in this direction. Tanzania, next to us, is going in this direction of creating a service. Uganda has created one, Pakistan has created one. Many countries have gone this direction because it is a specialized service that will be of benefit to the country in terms of efficiency and management of data. I beg to move, and I ask Mr. Orengo to second this Bill."
