We only need to have a transition period. If we are now having 11 board members and we want to reduce them to seven, this Bill does not provide for a transition period. How will you reduce the 11 to seven board members? We need to capture that in this Bill, if it is to go through. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

On the issue of quorum, I believe the two-thirds as quorum is very important so that we reduce instances of corruption. If you have very few people making major decision worth billions of shillings, I believe---

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for that addition to my time. I was just about to conclude and I was talking about the issue of reduction of corruption. If you reduce the quorum or you do not have the minimum number of members who can sit and validate whatever decisions are being made by the Board, that may lead to corruption. So, when we have two-thirds as quorum, I believe incidents of corruption are likely to reduce. Of course, we know we have the Kenyan culture of being corrupt. I think, it is nearly becoming a culture. Someone has ...

I believe these are the issues which we need to address through the law, that we may need to have 100 per cent of the Board when there are certain major decision being made. Not simply the two-thirds which can also turn out to be low.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to add my voice to this Bill. I support the Bill because I believe it is good. The Chapter of the Constitution on public service is a very good section which encourages transparency and accountability. Now that it has not been operationalised, those sections may not work well. That is why it is important to have this Bill to operationalise it, so that it can come into effect. This Bill encourages the provision of uniform principles and similar frameworks for all public servants. I believe that is a very good provision. ...

whom he thinks can assist him to deliver on his election pledges. At the same time, it is not an open cheque. It has to be people who have met certain minimum qualifications. Therefore, I support this Bill.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Mine is to support Hon. Lessonet’s Petition on resettlement of Emngunguny/Morgisis squatters. It is an awkward period for the Government now that it is removing people from their settlement areas and yet the rainy season is here with us. It reminds me of the situation which prevailed in the Mau Complex. When people were removed from the Mau Forest, they suffered a lot, especially during that rainy season. We in the Jubilee Government ought not to expose our people to such inhuman situations. They should be left to stay in the farms where they are. ...
