    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move an amendment on Clause 3. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (c) by deleting the word “ongoing” appearing after the words “continuation of”. Mr. Chairman, Sir, the reasons for that proposed amendment is that if you read that clause you will find that it reads:- “The object and purpose of this Act is to provide for- (c) the financing and continuation of ongoing services in accordance with Article 187(2) and 203(1)(d) of the Constitution.” Mr. Chairman, Sir, our joint Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs and the Committee on Devolved Government are of the view that the word “ongoing” is superfluous or irrelevant. What is required here is that the purpose of this Act should be financing and continuation of services in accordance with those articles, not necessary for ongoing services only. It means all the services that have been devolved to the counties have to be provided for in terms of finances."
