The amendment seeks to delete provisions for functions of County Executive Committee (CEC) members as proposed in the Senate Bill. The primary function of the Council is to regulate the warehouse receipt system through issuance, suspension and revocation of licences. The Bill had proposed to delegate this function to the CEC member in charge of this at the counties. That is what we are seeking to delete. The justification is unclear. The provision I have proposed will be tantamount to delegation of a national Government function to the counties.
