Therefore, he could be given the responsibility to preside over a democratic process where this committee is elected democratically and then it takes responsibility for all its actions. Hon. Members must also agree that CDF more often than not also becomes a milestone around their necks. This is because of being expected to be so actively engaged in its activities. So, whereas we should retain our oversight role, I do support the notion of really removing the Member of Parliament from the said centre of the process."}
