    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was trying to follow through the argument by Dr. Khalwale; his argument and proposal are at variance; when you superimpose this new amendment on the Bill, the effect it has is to leave out the Senate from receiving recommendations of the Summit; this is because you are deleting the Senate or the county assemblies and leaving it to be that only the National Assembly or the county assemblies that will receive the reports and make the recommendations to the Summit. So, the Senate will not make those recommendations, yet the import was to get the two Houses and the county assemblies to make recommendations to the Summit, and then the Summit will continue pursuing those matters. The intention and the drafting are at variance. If the intention was then to create a bigger role for the Senate on these things, it is already within the law because the Senate will receive those reports and make recommendations to the Summit. So, it is going round, deleting, then adding and arriving at the same issue, but on a very dangerous route. I would urge that we remove this for now. It does not leave out anything in terms of what was already drafted. The Senate, the National Assembly and the county assemblies will still receive those reports and make recommendations to the Summit and that is what we want. Then the continuation of the inter-Governmental relations will continue within the framework of the Summit."
