    "content": "proposal from the Mover. The staff in these institutions should be vetted, so that they are not corrupt. Kenyans who are listening to me, please, do not take shortcuts. Let us work for our wealth. If you are paid Kshs10,000 or Kshs20 million, please, live within your means. I can see the composition of the board members and I have no objection. These are people of high caliber and have been vetted in their respective positions. We hope they will do a better job. The only problem I have is with the CEO. The IEBC has had problems with corruption. Some commissioners are alleged to have been involved in the “chickengate” saga and other deals. It hurts me. People should be patriotic and act in the interest of Kenyans when they are given these jobs. The advisory board consists of about 10 people and we can rely on them. Lastly, I as I have mentioned, the role of the FRC should be de-linked from the CBK because it has its own issues. They might use staff from the CBK, but they should move away from the CBK premises so that they can track down the movement of money right from the source to the end. Nowadays, if one receives Kshs1 million, they should explain how they got it. One should explain whether they have sold a piece of land somewhere. Again, if you get a gift from someone, you should explain particularly from churches abroad. A pastor came to me and told me that she wanted Kshs20 million. She explained that somebody was sending her the money from the United States of America (USA). Who can give you Kshs20 million just like that? That is money laundering. After getting the money, a man will come over and follow it up and that is how we are crippled. Let us be disciplined. I support this Bill. I hope it will be passed and fast-tracked. I am in the Committee on Implementation and we should have it implemented before we go on recess. With those few remarks, I support."
