    "content": "Mr. Chairperson, Sir, I rise to support the amendment. I read a sinister motive in this Clause. The National Assembly wants to hive off some of the words and before you realize it, you will find that the Senator is irrelevant. The mandate of the Senate is to protect counties. There is no reason why they should remove the Senate to give themselves the role of delimiting the boundaries. According to the Constitution, the commission has this role of determining boundaries. So, I do not see the reason why the National Assembly should take over a role that is not theirs. I, therefore, support the amendment because we shall be committing suicide if we are to support this kind of amendment to eliminate the Senate from the role of protecting counties. 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"
