The justification is that Clause 36(3) and (4) as passed by the National Assembly give powers to the Cabinet Secretary to recall a function from a county in case it is not properly managed, a power not provided for in the Constitution of this House. The power to recall the county function is clearly provided in the Inter-Governmental Act. Therefore, the amendment is to correct this anomaly.

The justification is that the general administration and management of beach units is a function of the county government, not the national Government. Hence, the amendment corrects the anomaly created earlier which granted administration of each unit to the national Government. Thank you.

The amendment seeks to enrich the clause by respecting the fact that fisheries management is a devolved function and, therefore, we need to involve the County Executive Committee (CEC) member.
