    "content": "Mr. M. Kilonzo): Mr. Chairman, Sir, I want to persuade my good friend, hon. Kioni, that Article 250(3) of the Constitution makes this body a body corporate and independent. Similarly, Clause 12(1), which we have already passed also makes it a body corporate. The House should know that my Ministry has had enormous difficulties where we do not make a provision like this. In fact, the Committee of Experts ended up with donations coming from countries including Japan for civic education. The money was never released by the Treasury and even as we speak, the issue is still ongoing. Therefore, the Treasury has its own procedures that frustrate independent bodies. So long as these bodies are able and required by the Constitution to report to this House regularly and to His Excellency the President under Article 250, we have considered this and we recommend it. I oppose the amendment."
