Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I see the point hon. Kimunya is making, but if you go to Clause 4, this Authority shall be a body corporate with perpetual succession and a common seal and it has all those powers of doing or performing all such other things as to proper discharge of its functions. So, even if we remove it, it is still covered here. So, 32 can be deleted and there is no problem.

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we have just passed the Inter-Governmental Relations Bill and one of the main functions of the technical committee in that Bill is to take over the residue function of the transition entity established under the law relating to transition to devolved governments after dissolution of such entity. There is absolutely no justification to extend at all.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, that proposition is completely unconstitutional. It is very clear what constitutes a county assembly. It does not constitute Senators. Unless these Senators have nothing to do, they should be busy doing their thing up here in Nairobi. Let us be very clear. The composition of the county assembly does not constitutionally include Senators. We cannot through an Act of Parliament try to sneak in Senators into this. It just does not sit well at all. So, I beg to oppose.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 11 be amended in sub clause (1) by deleting the words âseventy five per centâ and substituting therefor the words âtwo-thirdsâ Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is on page 3269 and I am proposing that the threshold for removal of the Speaker from office be downgraded from a resolution of not less that 75 per cent of the members to two-thirds of the members of the county. The justification is that it is consistent with what has been the practice in the National Assembly. I move.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was proposing an amendment on part (c). I am saying in sub-clause (3) we should add---- I think there is a misnomer on the Order Paper, but after the word âKenyaâ the qualification for the county assembly clerk should include the word, âand a local of the countyâ.
