Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, allow me to declare my interest. The letter that was subject to the statement by the Speaker was written by the Chairman of the CoGs, the Governor of Meru County, who happens to be my competitor. The comments that I will make have no reference at all to our political competition, because they are of general interests. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very clear case of impunity. The governors have been operating as if they are law unto themselves; they do not want any scrutiny. What happened between Gov. Kidero and Sen. Sonko ...

Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the purpose of this amendment is to clarify the roles of the county governments vis-a-vis the role of the Director General. The amendment is to provide collaboration between the Director General and the county government in the management of fisheries in the respective counties as the original Bill did not provide for a role of the county Government. This being a devolved function, we thought it would be necessary for them to be involved in collaboration and consultation.

Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move: - THAT, Clause 36 of the Bill be amended by – (a) deleting subclause (3); (b) deleting subclause (4). The purpose of this amendment is to remove the powers being conferred on the Cabinet Secretary to take over the management of fisheries from the county governments in cases where they think there is mismanagement. This taking over functions by the national government is unconstitutional given the fact that fisheries is also a devolved function. We are, therefore, removing those powers from the Cabinet Secretary to take over the management of fisheries at ...
