    "content": "are told universities are the best places for learning which have the best thinkers and academicians. What people do there is shocking. I am sure the Institute of Directors will come with rules, regulations and bylaws to make sure that things are done properly and professionally so that we can move ahead. Time has come for us to change. In the days of the Kenya African National Union (KANU), illiterate people were being appointed as members of boards of directors. We had directors like the late Mulu Mutisya and Kariuki Chotara, who were illiterate, sitting in boards. They could not understand what they were doing there. They could not speak English or proper Kiswahili or understand what was going on. We have come a long way. We must look at the history of this country. Where did we go wrong? The other example is Kenya Railways. Since Independence until the Standard Gauge Railways (SGR) began, we did not have any other railway line. Seventy years ago when colonialists were here, we were able to do good things. What happened when the African Government came in? Those are things that we must ask ourselves. Are we adding value to this country? This Bill should bring sanity. I support."
