As I said, the secretary is supposed to represent the national Government in that board. The presence of an officer from a regional authority is to deal with cross-cutting issues around there. For example, the Environmental Committee of Isiolo County must have a person from Ewaso Nyiro North Development Authority (ENNDA) so that if ENNDA is handling an issue of environment that is cutting across the seven counties that they are responsible for, they would be able to bring it up. So, hon. Member if you are from Marakwet, then an officer from Kerio Valley Development Authority must be present in that Committee."}
