    "content": "I will not go further than raising that caution because I have seen even in this Amendment Bill most of the amendments are seeking to change the constitution of boards. Some are giving more powers to the CS, some are removing specified organisations like the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) and the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE). I am happy that two were removed. I had looked in detail at the two that were removed and they were actually substantial. In future, I will propose that a way be found, perhaps through the Speaker’s Office, to scrutinise what Committees have agreed are minor amendments. In my view, miscellaneous amendments serve purposes bigger than they are made to look like, particularly if the Members do not read them carefully. Then major changes are made in law by what looks like minor miscellaneous amendments."
