    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to say that I am in the Committee that considered this Bill. Hon. Wamalwa’s views were right on the table and we discussed them. The amendment that Hon. Sakaja has brought is just for pragmatism. We all understand that the issue of employment also concerns the counties. But if we decide to subject this particular Bill to the Senate, it is going to die, and then one year later, we will not have this Act operational. We will also not have an authority. What we intend to do to assist this country will not be in effect. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the position is, if we pass this law as it is, we have already agreed with the Mover that immediately it is enacted just before it becomes operational, the law permits amendments to be brought immediately so that we can invoke provisions that will bring the county on board. That will probably take another two or three months. If we pass it as it is right now, without the amendments that Hon. Sakaja is doing, it means that even next year, we will not have an authority to address this particular problem."
