(b) In subsection 2(e) by inserting the following words after the word “level”, “as provided by the county assembly”. We do not know how those county governments are going to operate. We said that a minimum of 30 per cent of its revenue must be allocated to development, so that it does not become an employment bureau. That is missing from our amendment.
