"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to join my fellow hon. Member in seeking your indulgence to allow this amendment. When we were at Clause 8, I remember I tried to rally the Committee to understand that the reason why the Committee Chairman wanted to drop Clause 8 was because of the perceived conflict between county executives and the Cabinet Secretary and the fact that, that would make this a Bill concerning the counties and that would have made it untidy. It would mean going to the Senate to be looked at afresh. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I ask the House to consider the fact that by amending that and dropping Clause 8, we would have dropped a very important part of this Bill which is the creation of safe houses and protection mechanisms. So, I humbly beseech you to consider that amendment in Article 46 and, of course, it will aid in consideration of the issues that have been raised by the Chairman with respect to the conflict affecting the Cabinet Secretary dealing with county executives. There is no provision in law that allows the Cabinet Secretary to deal directly with county executives on such a matter. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
