"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me put this matter into perspective. During the meeting of the Joint Committee, we worked until very late into the night. I do not want to take away from hon. Ogindo, his effort and his personal opinion. It was agreed in the Joint Committee that if there was anything that anybody felt very fervently that he disagreed with, be it me or hon. Ogindo or anybody else; he should go ahead and raise his own independent and private notice to amend that particular aspect. That is what hon. Martin Ogindo has done. However, this matter was discussed very substantially and many of us were in agreement. For argument’s sake, the Permanent Secretary (PS) in charge of the Treasury appoints other PSs Accounting Officers but that does not mean that he is a “supper PS”. So, in the same way, I would, really, urge my colleague to, kindly, consider withdrawing the amendment. We have spent a lot of time and energy on this matter. So, I urge him to kindly withdraw the amendment in the spirit of co-operation."
