    "content": "Secondly, I also do not see the logic why we seem to be saying that the Secretariat and the Commissioners must be capacitated. Who is responsible? If you have part-time Commissioners, is that a Commission or a board of bureaucracy? I am of the opinion that this is a Commission and let the Commissioners take responsibility. This is an independent and constitutional Commission and you cannot have part time Commissioners who will do Jua Kali business and may be tempted to look for contracts from the same people who will vie for these positions. Are we not creating opportunities to tempt the Commissioners? This could be happening in other countries. I have observed this but each country must learn from its own history and processes. This is not a country where you can have part time Members of Parliament or Commissioners. It cannot work here, because we will create opportunities – in economics – for seeking rent. I do not think that, that is what we want to do. I want the Commissioners to be completely independent and know that they have a job to do for the sake of this country, and to do that job properly without wondering whether they are being employed fulltime, halftime, quarter-time or a tenth of their time. You wonder what they will be doing those other times."
