    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, initially we had agreed to drop Clause 8 for the purpose of saving the amendment by the Leader of the Majority Party which provided that about three months before an election, no county government will be allowed to commit the national Government in any spending, so that it reduces the number of pending bills. That one we do not have any issue with. However, we want to retain the rest of that Clause 8 because its subsection (a) contains significant issues concerning the National Treasury accounts such as the Consolidated Fund accounts. It also specifies the various accounts maintained by the National Treasury. We are of the view that that particular part of the amendment should be saved. So, we are only allowing the part of the Bill that prohibits the county governments from committing the Government three months to an election."
