    "content": "be done away with. In fact, as we contribute, we should be counting the time so that we vote out these amendments and go for mediation and close this chapter. What is also surprising me is that they are making proposals that the accountant in charge of the various constituencies becomes the Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) holder and yet, we know very well the structure that operates down in the constituencies with respect to the regional management of KeRRA, which will be named otherwise. That will bring a fight in administration. It will bring confusion between the regional manager and the staff. We do not want to cause confusion by introducing that kind of arrangement before the House. The Senate has gone ahead to make a proposal that they would want to nominate two people from their offices. I want to cite an example of my own county. We are 12 sub-counties. I am pretty sure that my Senator does not have 24 members of staff to engage. Why are we debating an issue which we just know it is not practical? That is an example from my county. It means he would have to borrow a leaf from somewhere else so that he is able to accommodate staff. Who are the people that he is going to bring on board and yet, they will not be members of his office? He does not have the capacity to employ such people. This proposal is not implementable. On that note, it should die on arrival, so that we have a proper document that we can rely on and which is practical to implement, so that we can move on."
