Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I thank my sister, Sen. Were, for sponsoring this Bill. It is an idea whose time has come. It is a good Bill that will make everybody’s life easier. Without belabouring what other Senators have spoken about on the added value for this Bill, I will bring an amendment to Section 2 which says- “In this Act authorized officers means a governor of a county, a speaker of the county, a County Executive Committee (CEC) member” In all the three, there must be a caveat ...

Otherwise, in terms of oversight, it will be difficult for everybody. There have been many ideas that have been contributed. I do not want to repeat what other people have said. However, that is the gap that I have seen. I intend to bring an amendment. In case I do not, Sen. Were, make sure to sponsor the amendment.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for allowing me to second this Bill. As the Chairman has submitted, this is a very simple amendment.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Kang’ata in order to say that Members who are not here should not be paid yet he is usually not here most of the time? He was not here last time. We said that these are Bills that are coming back for the second time. We should stick to the relevance of the amendment so that we pass most of the Bills on time. I therefore request Sen. Kang’ata to be relevant to this amendment.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you. I just want to request my sister to be a bit loud because we cannot hear from where I am seated. She is moving a very important Bill that is very much relevant to this country.
