    "content": "with the national and county governments” everywhere within the Act. This relates to all the sections throughout the Act. I do not have to go through those sections now. We have what we call the omnibus clause. The omnibus clause is just to ensure that no provision in this Act shall prevent a county government from undertaking its functions as provided for in the Fourth Schedule. This is for the avoidance of doubt. In Section 61, apart from the three persons, we are also adding another three persons nominated by the Council of Governors established under Section 19 of the Governmental Relations Act, all of whom shall be holders of at least a degree of a university recognized in Kenya and at least one of them shall be from the other gender. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, quickly coming to the Pyrethrum Act, you will notice that under our Constitution, in fact, part (ii) paragraph one of the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution talks about issues relating to agriculture; crop and animal husbandry, livestock, abattoirs, plant and animal disease control and so on. All these are functions of the county. When the Pyrethrum Act was enacted, they did not take into account that county governments have that function. So, the same principle which I outlined earlier applies here. We are now saying that addition is not to the Cabinet Secretary but also Council of County Governors."
