Duale","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":15,"legal_name":"Aden Bare Duale","slug":"aden-duale"},"content":"As I said earlier on, this Bill will go to the Senate because it also touches on the county governments in their financial management system. Clause 3 proposes to amend Section 5(1) of the Act by including Parliament in the approval process of the declaration of county government entities. Therefore, there is a very specific role which is being given to both Houses of Parliament, in the process of approval and the declaration of county government entities. Further, Clause 3 proposes to amend Section 5(4) of the Principal Act, by including and giving the County Executive Committee (CEC) certain powers in the approval process where a county government entity ceases to be a county, in accordance with this Act."}
