    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we may not even need a census in future, if this is done properly. It will be cheaper to do it this way than to use the other method of counting people after every ten years. We have provided for a single term of six years because we thought that the person who will occupy the Office of the Director-General will be quite senior, a person who should be retiring at the age of 60 years. So, if we give you this job when you are, say, 54 years old, by the end of your six year-term, you should be ready to retire. This is an active management job. It is not like a chairman’s job. The chairman will be more likely a retired person. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should not transfer all staff randomly. The staff will have to convince the new Board that they can deliver. Some deadwood will have to go. That is a good suggestion that we can take. I want to support every hon. Member who has supported this Bill. I have taken the comments that have been made. We will be able to work together during the Committee Stage to produce a better law for Kenya. With those remarks, I beg to move."
