    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 48 is amended in sub – clause (2) by deleting the expression “12(3)(d)” wherever it appears and substituting therefor the expression “12(3)(b), (c) and (d).” Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the import of this amendment, as I mentioned previously, is to ensure that the commencement of this Bill is deferred to the next county assemblies. The intention of this Bill is to reconstitute the County Assembly Services Boards, expand them to include other new members and to create a Board that mirrors the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). This is meant to ensure that county assemblies are independent, autonomous and are able to have a professional board to ensure they are able to carry out their responsibilities. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, when we proposed these amendments, we did not provide for the transition. Therefore, this clause provides for a smooth transition by stating clearly that the new provisions will only be applicable to the next county assemblies and not the current ones. This amendment seeks to preserve the status quo as is currently but provide that the new provisions will apply to the next county assemblies."
