"content": " As I have said, the courts have taken advantage of our adversarial relationship. It is what we have created. We have lent ourselves to the courts. Even now, the laws very clearly allow that there should be an agreement on whether a matter touches on counties before a Bill comes to this House or to the other House. On money Bills, it is also clear. When we do not do that, we lend it to the other House. Therefore, we will have to look at this Bill. I pray that we do not hurry up the transaction of this Bill. Let us work through it in good time. Let the people see it. Let the amendments come so that when we eventually sort out the matter between the National Assembly and the Senate, it will have a very serious repercussion on what is happening even in the counties. With those remarks, I support."

"content": " Thank you. I also want, from the onset, to congratulate our colleague, Hon. Chepkong’a, for bringing this timely Bill. As much as we agree that devolution has its ups and downs, it is unfortunate that the two Houses in Kenya have squabbled for the last fifteen years. In this Bill, Hon. Samwel Chepkong’a has elaborated the importance of unity between the two Houses. We know the importance of working together, having seamless harmony while delivering services and representing the people of Kenya. The drafters of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 had a very visionary idea in this bicameral Parliament. As time goes by, we realise that human beings are naturally brutish. That is why we are always competing even when resources are there. We know that resources have never been enough. However, one thing is coming out very clearly. That is, to some extent, the Senate is abdicating its duties. They are supposed to take time and make sure that our counties are functional. We do more policy work in the National Assembly. Even though we share revenue with the counties every year, the level of development in the countries is still wanting. The health sector at the county level is uncontrollably being misused and, therefore, the people are not getting proper services. Even as we enact these Bills, as the National Assembly, and try to harmonise things, we ask counties to deliver on their mandate through the Senate. This Bill aims at reducing talking and increasing action. In today's global village, we have witnessed countries like Nigeria struggling with poverty due to mismanagement of their counties. If we do not prioritise the counties, we will have a big problem in Kenya."
