    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mine is just a small clarification. I support the Bill and in supporting, I wanted something to be very clear from the Minister. We establish the Fund in Clause 10 and then we give a limitation of 2 per cent when the Fund has been set up. So that when you read Clause 14, it is as if the amount of money in the Emergency Fund is more than 2 per cent. So, we are limiting the release. The limitation is on the release. So, if we are releasing 2 per cent, what are we establishing as the amount of funds in the Emergency Fund? My suggestion is that we do the limitation at the establishment of the Fund, so that we allow flexibility of spending. The problem that we need to deal with is how much is going to go to this Emergency Fund. What is the maximum allowable percentage so that counties can go for it? If we say that it is 2 per cent, then we must establish the Fund itself at 2 per cent. We cannot establish a lower percentage than what we expect to be released. When we say that you are allowed to release only 2 per cent, it means that you are allowed to provide more. What is the difference going to be used for? That is what the Minister should clarify or re-write, so that it comes out clearly."
