Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wish to support Hon. Sakaja on this amendment.

Private Members’ Bills in this House. If a Member invested in this Bill for two years to bring it to this level, we need to support him as a colleague. The Standing Orders are very clear. We can bring an amendment immediately after we pass this Bill after it has been assented to. It can then go to the Senate and stay for another six months. There will be no problem as long as the Authority is created. Without the Authority, the youth will be waiting for opportunities in this country.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the position of the Chairperson of the Committee. One, NEMA has a national function. It does not have a county function. Two, what the Senate has done is to remove the Attorney-General and put the Council of Governors. The Attorney-General was to provide legal advisory to the Board. The CoG cannot perform that function in that Board. Three, the CoG is just a caucus and they are institutionalising it through this amendment. If we allow this amendment by the Senate, the CoG will sit in the Kenya Roads Board (KRB), Kenya Wildlife ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to oppose the amendment proposed by hon. Ndirangu. His worries will be taken care of by the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which will be done by the company before the licence is given. Therefore, I strongly oppose the amendment.
