    "content": "(i) one person nominated by Kenyan members of the Eastern Africa Grain Council; (j) one person nominated by Consumer Federation of Kenya (k) one person nominated by Kenya Bankers Association; and, (l) one person nominated by the Kenya Warehouse Operators Association.” (b) by deleting sub-clause (5) and substituting thereof the following sub-clause─ (5) A person shall be qualified for appointment as chairperson of the Council if such a person— (a) is a citizen of Kenya; (b) meets the requirements of leadership and integrity set out in Chapter 6 of the Constitution; (c) holds relevant academic and professional qualifications including a university degree in a relevant field; and, (d) has at least eight years’ experience in— (i) agriculture; (ii) finance; (iii) business; (iv) law; (v) procurement; or (vi) administration. (c) in sub-clause (9) by─ (i) inserting the words, “in contravention of the Public Officer Ethics Act and any other relevant law” immediately after the word “office” in paragraph (c); (ii) deleting the words “in the opinion of the Council” in paragraph (e); (iii) deleting paragraph (g) and substituting therefor the following paragraph─ “(g) conviction of an offence and sentenced to six months imprisonment without an option of a fine.” I move the amendment in an amended form to exclude paragraphs (g) and (j). For avoidance of doubt, paragraph (g) states “one person nominated by Financial Sectors Regulators Forum;” We will delete that paragraph. We are also deleting paragraph (j), which says “one person nominated by Consumer Federation of Kenya;” The rationale is to harmonise this provision and bring in diverse, independent and representative stakeholders in the management of the affairs of the Council. We are also avoiding a scenario where government agencies would, on their own, raise the quorum of five members and transact the Council’s business. Thank you."
