    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to concur with my colleagues on the same. But we should not blankly give powers to the National Treasury to make this decision alone without giving timelines. I hope there will be regulations to help them. The National Treasury can decide whether a governor is unfriendly to Government and they frustrate him. If the governor had an important project, it has to be forwarded to the National Treasury and somebody with political interests can use this to frustrate the governor. So, it might be a good clause to put in the law. I think we need regulations to tighten it and make it more practical for execution of business since it applies to both the county governments and the national Government. We could have a friendly Cabinet Secretary at the National Treasury to facilitate ministries or one who frustrates them. So, giving a lot of powers to the National Treasury on this might be counterproductive. As we go along, I hope there will be regulations to enable us to deliver this clause."
