    "content": "(c) in sub-clause (4) by deleting the figure “(1)” and substituting therefor the figure “ (2)”. (d) in sub-clause (5) by deleting the figure “(1)” and substituting therefor the figure “ (2)”. There are two reasons to support this. One, we are trying to make it a hybrid board. The reason is that the earlier boards were like a class of elitists comprising of different organisations and leaving out the people of Kenya. The Committee is trying to make it a hybrid to bring in the people of Kenya - who are the road users - to manage their own roads. The second reason is to attain that constitutional requirement of regional balancing. There is a danger that if we populate those boards through institutions of professionals, we might end up having people from one region leading the boards. That is why we thought that we should propose to this House that there should be a hybrid way of populating the board. Finally, the Chairman of those road institutions like KeRRA and the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) should be appointed by the President. The President did not appoint the chairmen in the original Act. It was done by certain institutions rather than the President. That is why through public participation, the Committee proposes that, as it is in corporate management under the law, the Chairman should be appointed by the President. That should be very clear."
