    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I know there is this big issue of the face of Kenya but we cannot look at the Privatisation Commission alone without considering the other Commissions. In order to balance all of them, we need to look at the whole structure of public service. Otherwise, if we simply see certain names here and associate them with a certain side of this country, we may not get it correct. I remember some people may not associate Mr. John Joseph Tito with the Maasai Community but he comes from Kajiado and I believe that area is duly taken care of. These people are also quite specialised in their areas. I listened keenly when Mr. Boaz Mbaya was being vetted and I could see he has a wealth of experience in the public service. He is going to be one of the best people to have in the Privatisation Commission. This country is losing many resources by having the Government run businesses which it could hand over to the private sector to run in a more efficient way. So, we need to privatise some of the institutions and we need these people to ensure that this is done. We have a person like Sang here who is a banker. He is a quite experienced banker who has dealt with such issues in the financial sector. These are the kind of people we need to bring in. There is a former Principal Secretary (PS) here who is got disabled through a road accident. It was very sad when I heard him say that currently he is earning a pension of Kshs9,000. He was PS and he is being paid Kshs9,000 as pension. I believe this also needs to be looked into so that our people can also live reasonably during their retirement. We have the lady here by the name Faith Bett. She is a lawyer. She is quite competent. I could see the qualities and the passion in her in the Privatisation Commission. Certainly, I will The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
