    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. All I was saying is that these rules or the procedure that we need to put in place will strengthen the CBK. It will not in any way weaken this institution and the squabbles taking place in many of our organizations of institutions should not be reason for us to start worrying about centres of power at the CBK. If there is a pecking order where power and responsibility is distributed with regard to policy setting and management, then we will be strengthening that institution rather than having someone who is the chief executive chairing a board. Where there is a problem if the board has issues with that personality, it becomes very difficult for that board to question because she or he will be chairing that board. We would also like to urge hon. Members not to look at this issue from a narrow perspective of personalities; either those probably planned to take these positions of chair or those who are currently holding it particularly the current holder of the CBK governorship. Let us divorce those issues from this. It is for posterity’s sake that we are putting this in place and the problem that we face with our institutions has got nothing to do with the rules or mandate that they have, but rather our politics. We are still in the old habit of interfering in the governance structures and management of our institutions but in time this will die. Subsequent governments, I am sure, will obey the rule of law and the Constitution in an upright manner. Therefore, I expect in the future that our corporate organizations will run their affairs, the boards will do their job right and the management will be able to run its affairs within the regulations that are set up. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
