    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I need us to be very clear about what we are doing. If Mr. Ethuro withdraws his amendment, then you have what obtains in the Bill which is this county projects committee with a lot of powers. When we were discussing Clause 13, I asked very specifically if we are going to delete them and Mr. Ethuro said, yes, but I am seeing that is what is done to cause an amendment. But if you look at his amendment, it says “the county projects committee whose main function shall be to coordinate the implementation of the project”. So what does that mean? The moment these monies are released, then this projects committee will tell you: “We are the ones who will be coordinating how it is implemented.” They are the ones who will be telling you when they are released and where it goes because that wording tells them that. So he should not withdraw. He should amend by suggesting that the entire section be deleted because that is what we had agreed when we were discussing Clause 13 and for saving the clause that I know my dear brother, Mr. Ethuro is very keen about, when I moved my amendment to clause 13, I dropped my amendments in part (iii) and (iv) but retained (v) which says the county projects committee shall ensure the harmonization of projects within the county. So in case you want to retain the county projects committee, then their role should be harmonization but not coordination and implementation. That is a recipe for a clash."
