Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, we are legislating for this law to be obeyed. If we have to create uniform licensing procedures in the entire country, the county assemblies have no option. It is not their discretion to make laws. The county assembly laws are subordinate to...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) His microphone has also failed. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Finally, find your microphone. Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I think Hon. Oluoch can approach the Dispatch Box. There was a microphone there. On this matter, I support...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I rise to support the amendment. It takes care of the disadvantaged groups, especially persons with disability.
