Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, we want to appreciate that we had many protracted court cases at the very beginning. People were seeking to be nominated. That can explain the situation as it is now but, we cannot repeat. We should not be anxious to repeat the mistake that was made that time. It also calls upon us, as a country, to put mechanisms in place that will facilitate elections and nomination of this gender. I also wish to underline the fact that gender disparity may tilt against the female gender but, we should not take ...

There is also the issue of who gets nominated. Since that is for another day, I think that this amendment might need to be looked at more broadly to address the bar or threshold of who plays which role in the management of county affairs. With those few remarks, I wish to support.

I wish to support this amendment because it will give an opportunity to all citizens of this country to develop their political ambitions and policies. Freedom of expression and democracy in this country of diversity can best be expressed through political parties. As we continue to stabilise in this political arrangement, it is good that ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to give my views about this Report. First, I would like to thank the Committee because they have consistently given us reports on how these fabric institutions are performing. Using the example of Mumias Sugar Company, we have come to appreciate that we must change tactics and style on appointments of management of institutions that are public. We have to find a way of indulging people because when institutions like this go under, the losers are members of the public who are after all, impoverished. This makes their situation ...

The other issue is de-politicising issues. Most of these institutions have been politicized to an extent that even the appointments are the recycling of friends and people The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
