Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I did not want to oppose my friend, Hon. Amina Abdalla, but in this case, I rise to oppose the amendment. I oppose it because when you read Article 249 (b) of the Constitution, it says that those bodies must be independent. Remember they are fighting issues to do with corruption.

We must retain it to be independent because they will be the same people ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is on semantics so that he can understand. When you say a maximum of 45 minutes, you can take five minutes or even one minute.

That is until the new members of the Commission are appointed. The Secretary and the Deputy Secretary shall continue to hold office in an acting capacity. Corruption is a big problem in this county. We know we will have the new commissioners. If you read the Constitution, Article 249, it states that there shall be the Secretary who is the CEO. That is a very important person. We have just passed an amendment which says that the commissioners are going to be on part-time basis and in that case, my proposal is that those who are currently there be on ...
