    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Mover of this Bill has gone into details. I have been listening keenly; he is not considering the functions of the national Government and county governments as outlined in the Constitution. Function No.22 concerning the national Government states:- “Protection of the environment and natural resources with a view to establishing a durable and sustainable system of development, including in particular- (a) Fishing, hunting, gathering;” For the County governments, Part 2 (1)(e) states:- “The functions and powers of the county are– (e) fisheries.” It is written in bold. The presentation of this Bill does not take cognizant of the fact that this function is devolved fully. Is he not misleading this House by returning a function that has already been devolved to the counties from the national level? I expected him to talk about establishment of committees in every county; expound on policy then establish councils for every county rather than one in Nairobi"
