    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this particular law is not being legislated in isolation. The Crops Act, No.16 of 2001 is only one of the several legislations touching on boards and appointment of staff on the boards. The wording has always been “competitive.” So, by trying to highlight one law, we will be inconsistent with all other laws. It is important for us to remember that in all the other laws. When the word “competitive” was adopted, there was also a M wongozo code that guides how boards do it. There is the wider State Corporations Act that also guides how things are done. Let us not be over-legislating on one to the exclusion of the others. “Competitive” implies openness and transparency. You can be open and competitive with 10 people. What is the yardstick for openness and transparency? We can know a process is competitive if, for example, the board demonstrates that the opportunity was afforded to every eligible Kenyan. That is the measure for competitiveness. So, perhaps, Hon. Millie, should allow us to not overload the law and go with the simple thing that we can test."
