    "content": "two, three or four cases where the Committee fails to adopt a certain amendment; we can then have an opportunity to say that, „so and so, have your amendment‟. I want to speak frankly because from the benefit of experience, it is difficult to individually pass an amendment here. This is because people will be asking; “What is that?” You know how we operate and we all know that it is difficult to get the 24 delegations unless we come back to Eldoret where we will definitely get the 24 delegates at any time. That is why I love “Senate Mashinani” because there are always numbers in the House, enough to even change the Constitution. If we go back to Nairobi and operate in the same way we have been operating, we may have challenges. I tend to agree with people who are saying that the law as it is puts a lot of power in the office of the Cabinet Secretary. He is allowed to make decisions on various issues. Those are things that we can sift through at the Committee Stage and tweak a little bit so as to make it institutional. I also agree with those who are saying that we may need to add one more representative from the counties so as to have the representation of the counties weighted"
