Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, it is Clause 2 with various sub-sections. Under Sub-section (c) of the same Clause, we are proposing that we delete the word “adopt;” and this comes after discussions where we agreed that the work of the Board will be to consider and recommend and, therefore, we are substituting the word “adopt” so that, then, the Board remains an advisory one and not an executive one as it had initially been misconstrued. Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, we also have some amendments with regard to Sub- Clause (d). The amendment seeks to state that the meetings of the ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. I think the issue raised by Sen. Billow with regard to the aspect of some of the departmental heads within the national and county governments - the key point was responded to by Sen. Keter and Sen. (Dr.) Machage. The fact is that we will only invite the departmental heads when we think we need to discuss a particular issue. So, any of those departmental heads could be invited only when we are transacting business that relates to their departments, and I think that should address the concerns of a bloated membership of the ...

Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after clause 2- 3.

Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, maybe if the Senator had waited a little bit for me to explain, we would be on the same page. You remember that the initial amendment did not contain or did not have provisions for the establishment of the sub-county development Boards and the Ward Development Boards, but from the discussions during the Second Reading of the Bill and within our Committee, we agreed that we cascade the same County Development Board at the county level down to the sub-county level so that we have the Sub-county Development Board and the Ward Development Board. This is ...

Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I propose that New Clause 4 be part of the Bill but with the following amendments. In 91 (b) (2), there are some repetitions there that were pointed out by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo and, the therefore, the words “the chair of the Board” should be deleted so that the sentence begins, “in the appointment of the members of the Board---“. Further, under (o) that any departmental head of the national and county governments who may attend the Ward Development Board. I am proposing the substitution of the word “county” with the words “Ward Development Board” and ...
