    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the first thing that we must agree on when defeating this amendment is that the Attorney-General has power. We will not give him more power. The Constitution is very clear on the functions of the county governments and national government. We have also agreed here that the county governments shall give their lists to the national Government. They will be very clear. They must be approved by the national Government. The devil is in the detail here. The proposed amendment in new Clause 21A (2) states that a contracting authority or county government which intends to enter into a PPP shall apply to the Attorney-General for a determination as to whether the proposed project concerns a county government. Any county government can argue that an expressway concerns Kisumu County because vehicles will move on it. Another one will be in Mombasa. Before you get concurrence, the person who is undertaking the PPP project will be taken through rigmarole because everyone will say that it affects their counties. They must come and make a presentation to approve the project. People will say that a project in Turkana County to construct a windmill affects other counties because electricity will be transmitted there."
