Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is just a transitional clause to ensure that those who are serving in the current NHIF Board... You will remember the part of the amendment that Hon. John Mbadi did and the further amendment by the Chair reconstituted the NHIF Board. We, at least, want to protect those who are within the Board today so that they can serve until the end of their terms. They will continue to serve for the remainder of their unexpired term.

Yes, of course, the Board carries the management and there is nothing that we have done with this Bill that touches on the management of the Fund. It is just the transition of the Board, because we changed it. It is important to protect the members of the Board who are currently serving. You will remember that if we do not create a transition mechanism, the people who are in the Board will have to go home upon commencement of the Act. So, this is just to create a smooth transition of allowing the sitting members of the Board to ...

We are not like that because we are here to represent the people. Even as you look around, Leader of the Majority Party, I want you to look around yourself, especially around the Front Bench where you are seated. Look around and ask yourself where the people who were supposed to be seated with you there are today when they are supposed to be here speaking and pushing a Bill that is for the benefit of the people of Kenya. Hon. Leader of the Majority Party, I thank you and I tell you that every time.

Thank you. I beg to second.
