Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I need us to be very clear about what we are doing. If Mr. Ethuro withdraws his amendment, then you have what obtains in the Bill which is this county projects committee with a lot of powers. When we were discussing Clause 13, I asked very specifically if we are going to delete them and Mr. Ethuro said, yes, but I am seeing that is what is done to cause an amendment.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I want to plead with hon. Members to be more attentive. We may be saying nay to something that is not helpful. If you actually see what Mr. Ethuro has said, in clause 40, he is deleting Clause 40(1) and (2). If he has deleted it, he is saying that then the role of that county committee shall be harmonization.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 52 be amended by deleting the words “two hundred” and replacing therewith the words “five hundred”. What Clause 52 provides is that if somebody misappropriates funds, then they shall be given a fine of not less than Kshs200,000 and I want to raise it to not less than, so that the lower limit is higher. A lot of times you see people misappropriate really high sums.
