Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill. I think it is an important document that this House needs to look at and support because it is prepared properly. I also want to commend the Minister for the professional presentation of this Bill.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country adopted this new Constitution because the people wanted a Constitution, a principle law that will give them the opportunity to manage their own affairs on the ground.

So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Constitution, which has brought us here now, is the one that I think is the only Constitution we have got since Independence.

Right now, we have a problem and the Minister knows it very well because I wrote to him a letter saying that I was really agonized by the kind of malpractices there. I mentioned malpractices that were taking place in Narok County Council right then. The Local Authority Transfer Fund (LATF) is being used like a personal donation by the people who control the county, from the chief officers to the councillors and other people.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have read the Report very carefully and I listened to the Chairman of the Committee which approved the three nominees for the jobs. That is what is in this Report. If there was any reservation then it is from a few people who are disgruntled, who had personal affairs and who were actually killers of Tobiko!

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not a party! Some people are saying that it is the party because maybe one or two of those members belong to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
