    "content": "As I support this Bill, I propose that the institution we are establishing in the Bill must be up to the task. I am wondering how a commission of 19 people will chaperone and guide the onerous tasks that are bestowed up on it. They are 18 of them with a director-general, but are not experts. They are bureaucrats. No commission in the country has these kind of bureaucrats where you have the memberships from the National Treasury, the Kenya Revenue Authority and the Ministry of Energy. You could get health and energy professionals. We do not have to have a commission with 18 members. We are now reducing membership of commissions in the country. We could have three or five highly qualified individuals who are able to guide this very important institution. I am surprised that after looking at the objects of the Commission, under Clause 6, there is no provision for the Commission to conduct mandatory research. It should establish for us how much nuclear material we have in the country. I heard a governor yester-night saying that in the last three years alone, he has received three containers of medical equipment from America. Some of these could contain nuclear materials that are safe, yes, but will need to be disposed of at some point in time. So, we may need this body, first of all, to do research and tell us the status of nuclear materials in the country and how much has come in, what the problem is and what needs to be done. Do we have some of it that is causing problems like diseases through The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
