    "content": "On the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) Act, 1999, the proposed amendment seeks to widen the number of professionals who may qualify for appointment as the executive director. They also prescribe additional requirements for the qualification of the appointment of the executive director of the KRB. The Bill suggests that the qualification should be a master’s degree from a university recognised in Kenya and he or she should have served in a senior manager position for a period of at least five years. We did this in the Roads Bill and so, at the Committee of the whole House stage, I will withdraw it. The Bill proposes to amend Section 23 of the Privatisation Act No.2 of 2005 to give power to the CS to direct the Privatisation Commission to implement a proposal for privatisation once it is approved by the Cabinet. It also requires the CS to submit annual reports on the implementation of the proposals to the National Assembly. The CS will approve and submit to the Cabinet that the final documentation and annual reports must be submitted to the National Assembly. The Bill proposes to amend the Witness Protection Act of 2006 to require that the Director of the Witness Protection Agency (WPA) be given an opportunity to defend himself where a petition seeking his dismissal has been presented to the board, which is in line with the Fair Administrative Act that every person must be given that due process. The Bill seeks to amend the Biodiversity Act of 2009 to make provisions relating to the composition of the board in order to align it with the Mwongozo Policy or principles of the Jubilee administration."
