    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. It is important to second this Bill. It has important amendments because it aligns with the current constitutional dispensation and at the same time, it looks at the process of appointment of members to the Commission. Our parastatals are important entities. In my opinion, these are entities which should be considered as cost centres. They can be bodies which can be involved to support development and evaluation because they are more or less like private companies. If they are managed well, they could stimulate development. We have seen the Chinese companies that are working in this country but are more or less Government owned and are more competitive than even private companies. Therefore, these amendments are going to improve the process of appointment. It will reduce time taken, especially in the approval for appointment of members to the Privatisation Commission. They will also bring the element of competitiveness in the appointment of members. I believe this will improve the quality and efficiency in terms of those people who are appointed to these particular bodies."
