    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to urge the Chair of the Committee that, as he moves according to your guidance that we go section by section, he should get his mind off the mentality that he had. That is because we are looking at the amendment substantively. All he needs to do is to convince us or not to convince us. Alternatively, if his amendment does not make sense like this one, then he drops it so that we move quickly. Where you have a case where the Bill is mentioning “local authority” and we know we do not have local authorities but county governments, it makes sense for it to be changed to county governments as we wait for his substantive Bill. But, until then, we cannot amend other sections which are not before the House. The Committee should have taken the opportunity to amend all of them. But, now, what we have before us are the substantive sections. So, I want to urge him to drop his own amendment because it does not make sense. That way, we will move faster."
