    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to go to the few clauses that I might have issues with. I want to begin with Clause 10. There is a provision that the National Assembly, Senate or county assemblies may upon receiving the annual report, under sub- section 1, make such recommendations to the Summit as they may consider necessary. I would want the Minister to listen very keenly on this. When a report is submitted to the county assemblies, National Assembly or Senate, it is not a report that will just come and be tabled in the House and lie dormant. It is a report that would be deliberated upon and have recommendations tied to it by the National Assembly and maybe the Senate. One thing that is lacking in the Bill is what happens to such recommendations that are forwarded to the Summit. Are they mere recommendations that the Summit would upon reading, decide whether to incorporate into their action plan or decide to ignore or they are recommendations that would have some binding effects on the Summit and its decisions? I think if this is not clearly spelt out, then we would be ruining the time of the National Assembly and Senate to discuss and deliberate upon reports from the Summit; that upon making recommendations, those recommendations then would not be adhered to or considered by the Summit. So, I think the Bill has to clearly stipulate what happens to such recommendations when they are submitted to the Summit."
