(e) By inserting the words “containing such matters as may be specified in county legislation” at the end of paragraph (j). This is to emphasize that the governor can only perform his functions in accordance with the Constitution and secondly, to mirror the powers of the President in the Constitution of assigning functions to Ministers, that requires him to do so by publication in the Kenya Gazette . The further amendment specifies which county Gazette Notice the governor can sign. He can only sign important notices to prevent situations where the governor is required to sign every gazette notice."}
