So, on Clause 7(3), it is basically that they are looking for ways of improving the membership in those--- It provides that the members from outside the Executive have some expertise and so, we just do not put individuals without considering expertise.

• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: The Temporary Deputy Chairman, let me speak slowly so that Members do not vote the wrong way. The Senate is adding that they be included in the vetting of members proposed to be in the council, who are not members of the Executive. view

• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: The Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee disagrees with the Senate and rejects its amendment. The import of the Senate amendment is that it is increasing the fine for disobeying an order by the Council from Kshs1 million to Kshs10 million. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: This order by the Council to industries would be punitive to the industries that need to pay that fine, especially given that the industries we are dealing with are mainly small to medium scale.

We oppose because we feel that this would be detrimental to the expansion of industrialisation in our country. view
