    "content": "On the roles of the county government, again, we are now in the constitutional moment as was stated in the NG-CDF Act, requiring a member in the county government to collaborate with law enforcement agencies to enhance security in the coffee growing area. That cannot work because a county executive committee (CEC) member, or an extension officer employed by a county government, cannot direct members of the National Police Service to undertake any service. Recently, we passed the County Government Licensing (Uniform Procedures) Bill here that has to go back to the Senate for mediation. It has very elaborate procedures on licensing of various businesses and activities at the county level, and also cuts across the entire country. I would imagine that any form of licensing should, therefore, follow the procedures that are set out in the Bill to avoid duplication and to avoid granting in some instances, like in Clause 25, discretion to a CEC member to issue or deny a licence.
