Temporary Deputy Chairlady, first of all, you know that these positions that people hold are not permanent. Let us look at this amendment on the basis of merit. If we add the position of Secretary to the Board, is it bringing an issue or is there anything that it creates that is not good for the organisation? I thought the amendment was that the Director-General of the Authority shall be an ex-officio member and Secretary to the Board. That is harmless in my view. However, if there is an issue that we feel needs to be corrected in that Hon. Kajwang’ is trying to create a position for his wife that is of no benefit to this country then we should know. I did not even know what Hon. Kajwang’s wife does. I am happy that this legislation is here. Today, I know what the wife of my friend does. Hon. Kajwang’ is very secretive. Whoever occupies that position at the moment should not preoccupy our minds. Hon. Kajwang’s wife can lose that position this evening. Let us look at this amendment on the basis of merit. I support the further amendment."}
