    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to plead with hon. Members that we look at this keenly, given the amendments that we have passed. If you look at Clause 42, it states thus: “The Chairperson of the Constituency Development Fund Committee for each constituency shall table a list of the projects for that constituency at a meeting of the county projects committee convened for the purpose and the said list shall also be submitted to the county assembly in order to align the said projects with the county’s development plans and policies. The Minister is, however, suggesting that it goes to the Executive Committee. If you look at the amendment that we have already passed, the County Projects Committee already has some representation of the Executive Committee. That is because it has the Governor and some of the Executive Committee members. So, when you put it at a different level, then what you are actually doing is creating a different level of bureaucracy. My suggestion would be this: Going by what we have just passed, we do not need Clause 42. So, I would want to encourage the Minister to propose deletion of Clause 42 because it is already covered. If you look at the composition of the Committee, it already has the Executive Committee plus the entire leadership of the county."
