(b) In sub Clause (2) by deleting the word “may” and substituting therefor the word “shall”. The justification is that the amendment seeks to make it mandatory for the county assemblies to enact this legislation to give effect to the provisions of this Act."

This is because the legislative role of the counties cannot be dictated by statute law. It is a requirement under the Constitution and, therefore, cannot be dictated by legislation. I need further guidance on that."

It is not their discretion to make laws. The county assembly laws are subordinate to the statute laws by this House and they, therefore, have no option. If the word ‘may’ is retained it will give them a leeway to choose whether they want to legislate or not. If the Constitution commands this House to do something, we do not have an option. The county assemblies must and shall legislate within the specified period."
