    "content": "Mr. Chairperson, Sir, what the Senate Minority Leader is referring to is a Bill that was brought by Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. Thereafter, we dealt with the NACADA Bill, which is different from the other Bill. My confusion here is that this amendment is the one that we had put there, but they are not giving us any reason for amending it because most of the names that are here, are already in the original Bill. All we were doing on the NACADA Bill were basically putting two additional people; one person nominated by the Council of County Governors and the other one the Minister responsible for the time being of Devolution. As you remember, we were trying to make these Bills compliant with the Constitution. The NACADA Bill, as it was then constituted, did not take into account the county governments. So, all we did here was to make the principal secretary in the Ministry responsible for Devolution to be a Member of this Committee and three persons nominated by the Council of Governors. The committee that is proposing this Bill is not here. I do not understand why we have this particular amendment unless it is just a drafting style. It does not add any value to what was in the original Bill."
