    "content": "role. Hon. Speaker, I am not sure but the Mwongozo that has been given by the Office of the President pegs the number of board members at nine. I know there is no such law but there is a directive contained in a circular from the presidency, pegging the number of board members at a maximum of nine. We may have to look into ways of harmonising this provision with the President’s directive in this regard . This will also apply to other proposals by Members in relation to enactment of such Acts and establishment of boards. I insist that there should be harmony in relation to this aspect. It is important for us to push through this Bill to ensure that the problems that we are experiencing, which came about recently, are dealt with. I wanted to add my voice to this Bill. I have a few other observations I may need to discuss with Members of the Committee and see how we will enrich the Bill during the Third Reading. With those few remarks, I strongly support the Tea Bill and urge my colleagues to do the same so that we pass it as soon as possible."
