    "content": "Clause 12 provides for the powers of the board to employ people who will work in the Award Scheme. It says that the board may appoint new staff or it may work with the staff seconded to it by the Public Service Commission. Currently, the staff who work at the President‟s Award Schemes have been seconded to it by the Public Service Commission. Therefore, the choice is for the general membership of this House to decide either way. Clauses 13, 14, 15, 16 and17, in summary, provide for the engagement of consultants and delegations of powers or functions by the board, the common seal of the board and the protection of the board from personal liability in their individual capacity when they are working for the Award Scheme. Clause 18 stipulates the three levels of the Presidential Award; namely, Bronze, Silver and Gold - and the four areas that a participant is required to participate in order to qualify for the award. Of course, those includes skills, service, physical recreation, and etcetera. Clause 19 talks about the requirements for a participant who qualify for an award. What are the criteria? Clause 20 provides for the duration for each level of the Award Programme. It is six months for bronze, 12 months silver and 18 months for gold. Hon. Speaker, Part IV of the Bill deals with the transitional provisions and savings. These include the staff, assets, rights, liabilities, obligations and agreements. Part Four is just a transitional path. Those who are currently working at the scheme, and the assets and liabilities, will all be transferred to the Award Scheme. This is a small Bill which seeks to regulate the operations of the Presidential Award Scheme by creating a legal and institutional framework for it. I am sure that the 11th Parliament will be the right place for this law to be passed. Hon. Speaker, with those remarks, I beg to move and ask the Member for Saku, Hon. Colonel (Rtd.) Rasso, who served in the AMISOM force that is mandated to stabilize Somalia, to second."
