    "content": "The Bill has proposed a ward level, which is the lowest unit within which the local committees will be formed. Indeed, a ward is too low a level for such committees to be formed. If we go that way, we will have thousands of ward level committees. The best would be to have a local committee at the constituency level. The challenge will be that under the county leadership, we do not have representation at the constituency level. If we proceed that way, I am sure we may propose that the local committee be formed at the sub county or at the constituency level. I am quite sure that once this Bill goes to the Senate, they will have an issue with this suggestion. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we go forward, I wish to state that at the opportune time, I will propose an amendment to this particular provision stating that the county level is the appropriate level within which we can form the local committees. That way, the committees will discharge functions fast enough. If we decide to have the ward level, I think that is too low a level and we may have so many of them."
