We should leave the management and its control to a competitive and private sector driven process. We have seen a very vast graveyard of parastatals that have attempted to do business in this country and they have really lost. Kenyan taxpayers lost a lot of money because of corruption and incompetence. Even as we speak, we keep on pumping a lot of money into these parastatals. I agree that the Government should get out of business. I also agree that we should have a linier commission as a parastatal since that is where we are heading to. Seven is not a bad number. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I, therefore, support subject to deletion of the offending clauses removing the role of Parliament."}
