    "content": "The Mwongo zo, which was done by the team led by Hon. Abdikadir, was a wonderful document. They wanted to streamline parastatals. We have so many parastatals and some are idle. They do not even have money to run any developmental agenda. Some are just depending on the Exchequer release for their salaries. Those parastatals must be brought together. They must be collapsed because some of them are pensioners. The officers are just earning salaries and do not do any work. This Bill has come at the right time. It is very good because it will bring discipline, order and sanity to the whole body of corporations in this country. When you have companies like Mumias Sugar Company (MSC), which we were depending on yet today they depend on Exchequer release, you will understand the questions: Where did we go wrong? Where did the rain start beating us? Why are we where we are today? This Bill proposes continuous training, the much needed skills, direction and much more. When you misbehave as a director and a member of this body, like other professional bodies, you will certainly be blacklisted because you are not delivering on your mandate. There are people in this city who hop from one parastatal to another and they are being appointed every other time."
