    "content": "arbitration mechanism so that the Governor of Kisumu does not go and launch a city when we have a dispute. Since we do not have a framework of determining that dispute, that gap can only be filled by Sen. M. Kajwang’, the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. Sen. M. Kajwang’, I know you. You are a man of your word and I know you can do it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the legacy of the Sen. Kajwang led Committee should be to find some framework before we find a law to sit down and tell people that they cannot do what they are doing. If the counties have disputes, they should refer the issues to the Senate’s Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. We can even amend the Standing Orders so as to give that Committee the mandate of arbitration pending the law. Sen. Wako has proposed some amendments to the Standing Orders. The good thing is that these Standing Orders, unlike the ones that we had in the last Parliament, we can make amendments and start effecting them immediately. We have so many solutions, but we must get to work. Kenyans continue to lament to us while we lament back at the obvious delinquency by our neighbouring House. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
