We will not simply say that we have created an avenue for people to raise their issues but as well, we are expected to guide the processes so that we do not miss steps. With regard to the Bill, I have a feeling that all is catered for except the bit that relates to trying to briefly state the reasons underlying the request for the intervention of the county assembly by outlining grievances or problems. A brief statement is insufficient to get to the bottom of what the issues are. Probably, annexing documentary evidence with regard to issues that are been raised, for instance, if it is on employment, providing sufficient data on discrimination, misappropriation and project distribution will be key. At times, we get petitions in the Senate that do not clearly spell out what the issues are. Probably, we may lose very important issues in between. It is a very good opportunity for Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) to participate in these decisions. It will reduce the burden at the Senate level so that we can deal with more substantive issues. However, we need to publicize this as much as possible so that we do not miss out critical steps. Though short, the Bill is very comprehensive. With those remarks, I beg to support."
