    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I support this Motion. I have no problems with all the names as presented. It is good that this board is getting expertise from members who have been in this House, that is Hon. Anyanga, and those who have been helping us out there in managing this Fund, that is the nominee from Kikuyu Constituency of Kiambu County. I am sure that will help the board in realising its goal and objective as stated. Because I am going to be brief, Members have talked about the Acting CEO having been acting for the last eight years. It is true he has been a very able and competent officer in steering the Fund in the right direction. But those of us in strategy really do not read any mischief in his acting for eight years. Members should remember that once you are confirmed, the maximum time you can be in the position is only six years; that is you serve for a period of three years renewable only once. That is the Act. So, there is nothing Mr. Mbuno is missing by acting as the CEO. That is a strategy. If he gets confirmed, he will serve only for a maximum of six years. He has already served for eight years and those will not be counted. The board, if approved by this House, need to adhere to the law. Maybe this is going to be of keen interest to Members because no Member who has contributed has mentioned it. I would like the board to stick to the law when they are considering and approving projects as proposed and forwarded by the constituencies. I will give a very good example of instances where the law has been ignored by the previous boards. It is always known that there is the Act and there are circulars from different Ministries. I am happy the Chair of the Select Committee is listening very carefully and he is a seasoned Member who understands the operations of the House very well."
