    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand here to support the report of the Committee on the amendments by the Senate. I would in particular like to bring out clause 10 in which the Senate was proposing that we do away with the representation from the Attorney-General and instead replace it with the Council of Governors. It is very clear that the functions of the national Government are quite clear and those of the county government are also clear. In this regard, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) is a function of the national Government and the proposal that we include representation from county governors is in itself, to me, a violation of the function that is supposed to be of the national Government. We need to be so clear that if we bring out the issue of the governors in the representation of national functions, then we are mixing issues. We are mixing the functions. It is good that the Senate, in its recommendation, adheres to the fact that national functions should be left to the national Government and that county functions should be left to the county government. In this regard, I support this report in respect of the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. We should adopt the Report as presented by the Committee."
