I have risen to second the amendment, hon. Speaker.

I stand guided, hon. Speaker. I will for now comply, but I will ask you to allow me to give some contribution thereafter. Hon. Speaker, I stand to second the amendment for the reason that I have been a member of this Committee and it is manifestly clear - it is clear beyond any reasonable doubt - that one Prof. Japheth Micheni Ntiba does not qualify to be appointed as a Principal Secretary in the Republic of Kenya on account---

If that is done, it will open the great town of Ugunja to business opportunities from Siaya and Busia through Nyando and Lela.

I would like to say that there is still room for improvement in terms of money allocated to the counties. Of course, that can happen gradually if the counties develop the requisite capacity to absorb more funds.
