    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, whereas I can see the gist of hon. Mungatana’s amendment based on the contribution yesterday, I am trying to follow the wording of the amendment. I am not quite sure how this translates into the wishes he expressed yesterday about the county governments and the national government in terms of guaranteeing the loans and in terms of how this will stimulate economic growth in the county government that are economically challenged. When you look at the original draft as it is, it actually makes reference to the fiscal policy that has already been approved by Parliament which is the one that actually works out the whole programme of Government and how Government wants to invest within the different counties and at the national level. I am not quite sure how this will be practically implemented or monitored. We do not want to legislate in vain unless it is something that we can enforce or monitor. Perhaps, hon. Mungatana might wish to explain this to the Committee, so that we do not pass an amendment without actually appreciating the full import of what he intends to do."
