• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am looking at Clause 5 of the Bill, but I do not see what they are talking about. I do not know where Clause 5 is.

The other important thing is this and I am wondering: Why are we having a national board for functions that are devolved to the counties? I would want to be informed because to me, it really does not make a lot of sense to have a national board for functions that should be purely county functions. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
