    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, clause 68 of the Bill be amended— (a) by deleting sub-clause (1) and substituting therefor the following new sub- clause− “(1) County governments shall monitor aquaculture and mariculture practices and operations in areas under their respective jurisdiction pursuant to this Act.” (b) by deleting sub-clause (2) and substituting therefor following new sub- clause— “(2) Where any person or any county government has cause to believe that any fish and fish products from any waters used for aquaculture activities are infected with a disease which can reasonably be foreseen to become, or which has become, of epidemic proportions, such county government shall, in consultation with the Cabinet Secretary, give notice in writing to the owner of the relevant waters requiring the destruction of all fish or fish products in the said waters or the taking of such other measures as the county government may specify in the notice.”; (c) by deleting sub-clause (3); (d) in sub-clause (5) deleting the words “Director-General’s”; and (e) by inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after sub-clause (5)− “(5A) Where an officer wilfully, negligently or without justifiable cause issues a notice under sub-sections (2), the officer shall be held personally liable for any resultant loss.” Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the purpose of the amendment is just to urge the county government to be responsible for aqua-fishing, so that in case of any infection they can give notice and report to the Cabinet Secretary so that relevant action can be taken. The last inclusion of 5(A) is dealing with the officers who are supposed to give notices, so that they can take responsibility since they will be liable for whatever action or mistakes they will make."
