Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute on this very important Bill. From the outset, I would like to congratulate my colleague, Hon. Ochieng, for bringing this Bill to the House. It is timely. The main intent of this Bill is to provide a framework for building capacity and training of directors. In this country, very important bodies have been overlooked, particularly directors who sit in boards of parastatals."}
