    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I would like to start by congratulating the Committee that worked on this Bill; my elder brother Sen. Mutula Kilonzo jnr., the seconder of the Bill, Sen Sang, and the entire Committee that ensured that this Bill comes to the Floor of the House. This is a straight forward Bill that should have been enacted much earlier. If you do a search on similar Bills, you will realize that the county assemblies of Nakuru, Laikipia, and Nairobi have already come up with similar Bills. This means that the Bill that we will come up with today will provide guidance to the rest of the counties that have not come up with such a Bill. If we will end up with 47 Bills and regulations on the same subject, there is a possibility that there could be some contradiction. It is a good thing that the Senate has seized the opportunity to come up with a Bill that will guide the rest of the counties. It is clear from the Constitution that every person has a right to petition a public authority; it is not only Parliament or the county assembly. Every person has a right to petition public authorities. That is contained in Article 37 of the Constitution. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
