    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Mine will be very short because a lot has been said. I want to support and say that the Kenya Ports Authority needs to be given space once and for all. The Kenya Railways should let go. If at all the KPA has to expand and grow, it needs to be given space to do it without the interference from the Kenya Railways. We know that right now, a lot of changes are happening at KPA and the expansion is taking place there. But they have to keep on relying on and asking for information, permission and control from Kenya Railways. It is the high time that the Ministry of Lands gives the title deed to KPA, so that it can do its expansion without interference from another body. Also in the banking sector, Post Bank needs to do like other banks, where e- banking has been embraced. It is very cumbersome to carry a lot of money. With e- banking, we can reduce theft. It becomes faster and efficient. Post Bank needs to be given that for it to operate. We need to give it life. Otherwise, if they will not have that facility, everybody will move from there to somewhere else where those facilities are provided. Coming to the Director of Public Prosecutions, it is right to remove him from sitting in that tribunal. When a colleague is being prosecuted, it becomes very hard because of conflict of interest. The prosecutor will not be able to do his job because of the bond he has with his colleagues. So, it is right for him to be removed from the Tribunal. Finally, I also see it right for the NHIF to be given an opportunity to have a CEO who is properly recruited. The NHIF has touched the lives of many Kenyan citizens. So, it is good for us to, at least, have a person with a passion and drive, a person who is competent, capable and able to run that institution. Once a person undergoes a vigorous recruitment process, he will give the Kenyans the services they require. He will be able to manage that institution unlike what we have been seeing. When we give a job to a person who has no drive or is not capable and able to run the institution--- With that, I support this Bill."
