First of all, it is good that we are going to have the board in place after eight years of lapse. Secondly, we hope that the delay in disbursement of funds, with the board in place, will be something of the past. Today, there is a backlog in disbursement and the fear is that this money might be disbursed at once and maybe misused. Therefore, it is important that with the board in place, this will be a thing of the past. When this board is constituted, we will have an appropriate way of having fund managers. We have had ...

That is one problem that I think the Cabinet Secretary did not take into consideration. There are three people from the Rift Valley and we are complaining about the same. I come from the Rift Valley myself. Mr. Masese Robert comes from my constituency and he qualifies for the position. He is an old man and I think it is okay.

That is what ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am getting into the issue of the Committee recommendations. This Committee of the House, with all due respect, has professionals who have looked at this Report.

I had a very serious case of one of my relatives who went ...

From what I have heard and read, she is incompetent. We have had cases like this even with professors. There are some professors who are incompetent even in front of students. We are now dealing with the lives of our people. This is something that is just one way. It only has one way, but not another. In medical practice, it is either there or not there.

My wife was sick during the long recess and we went to see a doctor who prescribed some drugs for almost two weeks. She now has problems because we were later told that the medicine she had been given was wrong and there is nothing I can do about it. We now have this case that has been picked by the Committee. Let us accept the Report of the Committee and move on because we have many such doctors from India and South Africa who are coming here while they have failed in their countries. I know of a case ...

I support the Report of the Committee. Let us go by the reports other than trying to juggle around to see what can be done. I talked to the Member, who I know is a professional, and he also has some doubts. So, who am I to oppose the Report?
