Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was quite with you until you read the last bit “or country government-linked company.” If I refer you back to Clause 183(1A), we dropped the words “government-linked corporation.” As the saying goes “what is good for the goose is also good for the gander,” I remember very clearly that we dropped the words “government-linked company.” So, I would urge the Minister to kindly reconsider and amend that.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I did not want the word “state” to come in. I wish that it would have stopped at “County Corporation.”

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, a county corporation is only in that county, whereas a government-linked company is a parastatal or state corporation. So, if you are reflecting it in the county, stop at “county corporation.” This is because any other recognized county corporation will fall within the term “county corporation.”

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, when we were looking at this we were specifically thinking about certain water corporations like the Kisumu Water and Sewerage Company (KIWASCO) in Kisumu. The same applied to Nairobi and others. If you were in Kisumu County, the County Link Corporation would be KIWASCO. So, the county government would not delink itself totally from the KIWASCO or the Turkana Water and Sewerage Company. That was our intention. That is why we said county corporations but I stand guided.
