    "content": "elect their chairperson from amongst themselves provided that the member to be so elected shall not be a person who was appointed under sub-section (1) (c). (d) by inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after sub-clause 4- (4A) Despite sub-clause (4), a faith based sponsor who does not make a significant contribution and impact to a school or institution as contemplated under section 2 of the Act shall not be consulted in the appointment of the chairperson of the board of management of that school or institution. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the reason is that some of the persons mentioned here for representation include Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) which do not exist in our localities in primary schools and such places. We are also talking about business communities in those areas. Remember we are talking about the Management Committee. They do not therefore, exist. I am proposing that in these situations where they do not generally exist, these be parents of the pupils and the number increases to six. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am proposing a further amendment to my amendment that we add the following at the end of Clause 54(A):- “or local community in the case of county secondary schools” In county secondary schools or former Harambee schools which we are building with CDF money, the local community is busy building it. The parents themselves may not actually be the ones building the schools because the children come from various places. So I am proposing that Clause 54(1) (A) be added Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is a further modification because the chairman has moved an amendment which is similar to the one I have proposed at (c) where I am saying, “The members of the board of management shall elect their chairperson from amongst themselves provided that the member to be so elected shall not be a person who was appointed under sub-section 1(c)”. That is, you cannot elect a teacher to be the chairman of a school. I do not know whether the chairman then with his amendment will consider this to have been overtaken by events although he did not exclude a teacher from being elected. Subsequently, also on (d) I am saying, “despite sub-clause (4), a faith-based sponsor who does not make significant contribution and impact to a school or an institution as contemplated under section 2 of the Act shall not be consulted in the appointment of the chairperson of the board of management of that school or institution”.We have got sponsors who do not contribute anything at all but they just want to be consulted now and they make our work impossible. I think we should do this---"
