"content": " I wanted you to hear this because, first of all, the powers of cancellation belong to the commissioner and not to the county director. If you look at Clause (b) on the Order Paper, it says that a county director may recommend. So, for your comfort and purposes of any potential interference by political people, it is a recommendation. Remember what the Hon. Chairman said. This amendment is also meant to avoid arbitrariness. We have removed that. We did consider this by Hon. Wamuchomba. It came out in public participation that witch hunts and political differences may lead to people sabotaging at that level. So, we elevated the power for cancellation away from the director to the commissioner. The commissioner then would have to comply with the provisions of Article 47, due processes and other things. It is a good amendment. Thank you."
