I urge that we all support this amendment, so that we align with the Mwongozo Principle and the Code of Governance for State corporations, while also enhancing efficiency in service delivery to Kenyans and promoting good corporate governance within our State corporations, akin to the practices within the private sector.

Irene Mayaka","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to second this Bill and to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing it to the House. As he has put it so well, this Bill, as brief as it is, is very significant. It seeks to amend Section 13 of the Roads Act (Cap. 408) to be in line the Mwongozo Code of Governance for State Corporations. It is important for us as legislators to ensure that we are dynamic so that legislation addresses present circumstances. We are proposing a three-year term for the CEO, renewable only once. There is a key line that says renewal will be subject to satisfactory performance of the person holding the office. It will not be automatic that whoever holds the position will have their term renewed. You have to demonstrate that you have performed your duties satisfactorily. It is important to mention the transitional provisions in the Bill. They will ensure that those in office are protected. We should not leave any ambiguity in law. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to second."},{"id":1588195,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1588195/?format=json","text_counter":1277,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Question proposed)"},{"id":1588196,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1588196/?format=json","text_counter":1278,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

We should easily support this Bill by the Leader of the Majority Party. In fact, we discussed it in the legislative caucus in the morning. I signify my support to it. As I support it, allow me to say that this is the kind of thinking that needs to guide the Equalisation Fund. Unlike what we have in this Bill, Equalisation Fund money is just sent in bulk to counties. If I have been given Ksh10 million, why can we not be allowed to match it with my Ksh10 million from REREC, so that I provide electrification in my constituency instead of this money being sent to counties to determine how to use it? I support this Bill and I urge fellow Members also to support it. I thank you, Hon.

The longer someone stays in office, especially in a sensitive docket like this one, the more it entrenches corruption and cartelism. If you sit in office for 10 years, you will have been in contact with so many contractors and suppliers. I support that we reduce the number of years to six years so that there will be efficiency, energy and zeal to serve. Once someone overstays, the energy and zeal to serve goes because of fatigue and many other things. As I finish, roads are related to marginalisation. Some of us come from areas which have been marginalised. On the Equalisation Fund, allow me to digress a bit, we need to revisit the formula by the CRA."},{"id":1588201,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1588201/?format=json","text_counter":1283,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
