Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. To give some importance to the person who will head this unit, I request that we reconsider the qualifications that have been set out in Clause 5 of the Bill. We do not want to pass a Bill that will create problems in terms of implementation. I have concerns with Clause 8 which talks of people who will sit in the Committee. Clause 8(d) talks of two statisticians who will be picked from among County Executive Committee (CEC) members but I have not seen if a criterion has been put down or a body ...
