    "content": "This Bill has been long overdue as I said. When it comes to the issues of tenure, it is important to think of continuity. We know governors have two terms. A term of any government is five years. It is important from what the Chairman has said that for purposes of continuity, they should have a term of six years so that if a term of a government comes to an end, at least we will have somebody who will be able to advise the incoming government. So, when we move to committee stage, it is important to amend that particular section that is talking about six years. I listened carefully when the Leader of the Majority Party was moving the Bill. He said six years but in the Bill it is five years. That is why Hon. Cheptumo, from public participation, saw the sense of extending it to six years. That is why some of us are saying they will support that when it comes to the Committee of the whole House."
