    "content": "The CSs should be appointed among politicians. Picking these people from the streets is a burden to this country. If you look at the list of CSs who have been politicians, you will find that they are performing very well. Some of these people who were picked from the banks, NGOs and elsewhere are not performing. As I support this Motion, I ask the next Government which we are looking forward to form as CORD to get people who are politicians into the Cabinet. They may be from this House because they will take some of these things seriously. As said earlier on, the Bill is very clear. It gives room for each side; the Government and the NGOs to get information freely. That has been the problem in the past. If we pass this Bill, we will be able to access information that some of the NGOs have so that it is easier for us to understand some of them. Of course, some of them are briefcase NGOs. As mentioned by my good brother, Wilber Ottichilo, some of these NGOs come to this country with their staff. They may be technical staff but the amount of salaries that are paid to some of them is alarming. You will find that a person who comes from oversees is paid three times what a Kenyan counterpart who is equally qualified is be paid. That is what made us pass this Bill. It was to enable us get some information from wherever freely and regulate the oppression of some NGOs. I promise this House that, as a member of the Committee on Implementation, whose mandate is to fast-track some of the resolutions passed by this House and/or forwarded by the Executive, we will look at this within the shortest time possible to find out why this Act has not been implemented. If we find that the CS was sitting on the job, we will sanction him or her. With those few remarks, I support this Bill. Thank you."
