"content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me start by congratulating the Committee which came up with those Regulations. Mine is very simple. The question I would like to raise is: What is the best mechanism if it was to be implemented? Would it bring some conflicts and duplication of work which is done by others? Where does the process start and end? When I was trying to do some small mathematics, I realised that we would be talking of Kshs70 or 80 million per year. That is just for oversight. I found it to be a very large amount of money. If it is calculated per month, I realised that someone will be using kshs250,000. When I check that amount of money I found it to be very high especially considering the challenges some of us are facing. Like in my constituency of Njoro, when I was trying to give out the bursary I realised that I did a good job but there are still some people I could have considered. When I check this amount of money, I find it to be very high. Probably, it should be rechecked. It is very high. Therefore, it might bring some duplication of work in the counties. It might also result in conflict. As the Members of Parliament who make laws, we should have serious policies which will ensure that we are doing the right thing. This was good work done by the Committee which we really appreciate."
