    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I congratulate Sen. Cheruiyot for bringing this amendment. If you look at Clause 58(3)(d)(ii), he has brought in the issue of professionalism. Previously there was nothing like that. A governor could pick his friends or any other person that he or she deemed fit. With this amendment, there will be professionalism in the CPSB. He has also considered the youth because previously there was a requirement that you needed to have 10 years’ experience. That has been reduced to five years which takes care of the youth of this country because even the youth have the capacity and ability to lead in this country. I strongly support him for that. Having listened to him, the CPSBs are crucial in running of activities in the counties by the virtue that they are the ones that employ people to work in the counties. If we have boards that are not professional, the counties will have--- They normally say that if you give peanuts, you get monkeys. With this one, we will get professionals who will be doing the work diligently in the counties. He has also put the time limit that is non-renewable such that other people will also have a chance to serve once a term of other people expires after six years. This is a good amendment and I support."
