This amendment was meant to take this matter to the Attorney-General for a legal advice. This is because we sometimes come across very many projects where the AG’s opinion is not sought at all and the Government ends up losing a lot of money. Before any project, especially one of the magnitude of Kshs5 billion and above, there is always a Cabinet Paper presented to the Cabinet by the Cabinet Secretary concerned. So, there is no fear that the Cabinet will not have had a say on this matter. The amendment is proper and I support it as it is."}
