    "content": "Secondly and very importantly, and I said it when the Chairman of Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing was here, in order to forestall any conflict with other Government agencies during the implementation process of this law, it is very necessary for this House to craft what we call consequential amendments to accompany this law. So, we expect the Committee to have it in mind that as we finish the Second Reading of this Bill, there are certain consequential amendments that will be done that will accompany this Bill in order to align it with other Government agencies’ functions, for instance, by the Traffic Department and insurance agencies. In this Bill, it is the First Schedule that sets the procedure for appointment of the chairperson of the board. There is also the Second Schedule that contains provisions on how to conduct business and affairs of this Authority. The Third Schedule contains the oath and affirmation to be taken by the chairperson, the director-general and the members of the council. This is in line with the infrastructure, policy and vision of the Jubilee Government that we allow even our matatu operators to come together. As the Member from Teso said, we could pick some of the best private sector players in the developed world who have done this integrated transport system to come and partner with our local transport lead persons. That way, we can form a very good integrated transport system which is efficient, effective and sustainable in the long run. I am sure many Members will bring forth amendments. I hope Makueni County will be brought on board because of Konza City. This will become a success story. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
