• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The Committee agrees with the proposed amendment. This is also replacing the word “national” with “public” because both national and county forests are public forests. This is in line with Clause 30 of the Bill. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee agrees with the amendment proposed by the Senate to remove the Controller of Budget from the role of audit and reports of accounts which is the sole mandate of the Auditor-General. At this rate, if the Senate continues like this, the responsibility of vellum production will not be there because they are doing a very good job in cleaning the Bill. view
