Sen. M. Kajwang’ did not understand; I was forming the basis and the foundation of one or two points that I will raise in this matter. Secondly, I withdraw and apologise.

Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that information I stand corrected. I meant LAPFUND or LAPTRUST. I did not mean LAPSSET. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that correction. The Chair of Labour and Social Welfare Committee – of which I am also a Member - tried and exhausted the salient areas in the Bill.

Clause 8 provides that anybody who will be appointed to the Board of Trustees must be a person who meets the threshold on leadership and integrity. Last week, my Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to ensure that the functions are precise, concise and clear. The board should not just add other directions. We have instances where a CEO mismanages a parastatal or a board and the allegations are that the board sanctioned some of the decisions being implemented by the CEO. I now want to move to Clause 22 and I will rush through it because I only have two points, so that my colleagues can also have an opportunity to contribute.
