    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to second the Mover of the Motion and support the adoption of the Mediation Committee Report as presented to the House. When we discussed the earlier version of the Bill, the House had agreed that there was no need to have these offices in all the counties because while drought is a problem in this country, it is not a problem to all the counties. The thinking of the Senate was that since they take care of the counties, it is important that these offices are in all the counties, but they have now seen the sense that there will be no need of having drought management offices in all the counties. We definitely know that some counties in this country never experience any drought. They could be experiencing some different problems, but not drought. I support the way Clause 4(2) has finally been formulated. This is also very important to this country now that we are talking about reforms in State corporations. As it is now, the clause will go a long way in ensuring that we do not spend a lot of money on administrative expenses in State corporations. The thinking and the policy of the Government is to have a reduced number of State corporations. I support that move because State corporations have been draining national resources that are meant for development. It important for us to move resources from Recurrent Expenditure to Development Expenditure and this is the right move towards that direction. With those comments, I second."
