    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Privatisation is expensive to the country. At times, the Commission is likely to be misadvised so that some of the organisations or corporations to be privatised do not really deserve to be privatised. This is a very serious Commission where we need serious people. I have heard lawyers being mentioned there, which is good because there are many legal issues to be dealt with. You have talked about bankers. You need people in the financial sector. At the same time, the face of Kenya is also very important now that we are talking about cohesion. We need our country to be together so that it does not matter who is in power. Every Kenyan who loses an election should feel taken care of. No undue advantage should be taken against any Kenyan. I also wonder whether John Joseph Tito is the name that appears on the national identity card (ID) of one of the nominees because the name sounds a little different from the usual naming trend in Kenya. By and large, I think the Privatisation Act has to be taken seriously and these names must reflect the face of Kenya so that we have people drawn from all parts of the country who can easily participate in building the nation together, so that it does not look biased to the rest of Kenyans when certain names keep appearing. Hon. Speaker, I oppose. Thank you."
