    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, what I find contentious with the proposal by the Chair of the Committee is the role given to the Officer of the Board. The Officer of the Board is a Government employee from outside the constituency. I see nothing wrong because I have proposed very extensive amendments and I will persuade Members. We have discussed this with hon. Ethuro. What hon. C. Kolonzo has said is correct. What has been contentious is the Member of Parliament appointing the committee on his own. However, now, we have a consultative process where the Member of Parliament sits with the Officer of the Board and the sub county coordinator. To suggest that the Officer of the Board is the one who shall initiate the process; I find it fundamentally wrong and it undermines the will of the people in that constituency. I will persuade my good friend, hon. Ethuro, to drop this amendment so that I can take the House through my proposed amendment which I think takes everything into account."
