    "content": "these people understand what their role is? Like what Hon. Mwadeghu has said, we are not looking for financial controllers, chief accountants or business managers. We are looking for members of the Board of Directors of the CBK. My former boss, who is the Chairman and the current Governor, needs a strong team to work with. He needs a team that need not be taught things afresh. You get underwhelmed when you look at this Report. You shudder whether these people will stand the political interference that sometimes happens with this kind of an institution. You see political appointees and not people with the requisite stuff and the spine. I did not see any of them being put to task to answer questions about how they would help save banks from falling and how they would resuscitate banks that are falling. We do not see that in this Report. So, if anybody outside Parliament picked this Report, he will not see the head or tail of it. The Report does not tell us where we should see the CBK in the next three years. We do not see it in this Report and yet we are nominating and approving names to one of the most important bodies in the financial sector in this country. I support these names, but in future, I hope this Committee can make good recommendations. Let us have a competitive process of appointing people to public bodies. Let us have a panel to select. Let us have interviews, so that the names that are approved are those of people with the capacity to do work. With those many remarks, I support, but with those riders."
