    "content": "What the Committee has done is to add one more term for the Director-Generals of the three institutions, which are KeRRA, KURA and KeNHA. The motivation is that this is a very unique field. This is an engineering field. This is design. For one to do proper work and that Director-General to see his or her impact, it requires a road to be designed, look for money and implement it. By the time the Director-General will be doing those things, his or her term will be coming to an end. That is why it was in the wisdom of the Committee to ask that we add him or her one more term. He or she should be eligible for a renewal of one more term. This is an engineering field. You need design. It is not like any other field or running any other institution. This is engineering where you need to design. For one to design a road, nine months are required. For example, there is a design going on now of a road between Kitale and Lodwar. It takes nine months to design a road before money is looked for. By the time the Director-General is sitting down to implement it, the term has expired. That is why we are asking the House to agree with this Committee to add them one more term, so that they can do proper work and feel they have done good work. I thank you."
