    "content": "This time, instead of bringing members to be reappointed, they have to go through the process of performance appraisal. This again follows the principles of good corporate governance and in this process we identify the best. The people working also know that it is not automatic. They have to do the right things so that they can be considered for further reappointment. In the process this can lead to efficiency and improvement in service delivery. This is where we would like those bodies to add value to the nation. We have seen cases where some of our bodies have been privatised at a loss, like the privatisation of the telecommunication sector. Again, some of these parastatals are sold for a song. For the taxpayers, it becomes a big loss. We also need to look at how these are managed and what exactly we get as a nation so that by the end of the day, the people who are entrusted with these responsibilities can take responsibility. It is my belief that the Members here will look at this favourably. We need to pass this Bill so that it streamlines and strengthens the process of privatising our entities and also strengthens the process of reform within our parastatals. It is also my hope that the people entrusted with the responsibility will consider the good of the country first and what can be done to stimulate growth in the sectors. With this, I second."
