George Murugara","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 6 of the Bill be amended— (a) in subclause (2) by deleting the words “county governments” appearing immediately after the word “concerns” and substituting therefor the word “counties”; (b) by inserting the following new subclause immediately after sub-clause (2)— “(2A) in determining whether a question has arisen under Article 110 (3) of the Constitution, a Speaker shall, for the purposes of sub-section (2)— (a) consider the Bill’s purpose, intent and legal effect; (b) examine the contents of the Bill and the memorandum of objects and reasons to ascertain its inherent nature; (c) consider whether the Bill falls under the exclusive mandate of the National Assembly pursuant to Article 109(3) of the Constitution; and, (d) consider whether the provisions of the Bill specifically affect the functions and powers of county governments as set out in the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution. (c) by deleting sub-clause (5). The rationale is to align the provisions of the clause with the language of Article 110 (3) of the Constitution."}
