    "content": "As the Senate, we have no option to ensure this Bill becomes law. Unless a Bill is published, it cannot become law. It means what county governments do cannot be effective. Even going to the National Government Printer is a harrowing experience because theirs is skeleton work considering that they have to serve all the 47 counties. So, they may not be able to manage the bulk of work that comes before them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is need to devolve Government printing services to county governments and ensure all counties do their work. All counties have their own preferences and priorities. Some counties are keen on fishery and others on sugarcane, coffee and so on. When Bills regarding what people value in counties are passed and assented to and published in the Kenya Gazette, they become laws that are authentic and valid. It also becomes an encouragement to county executives and also available to county assemblies. If county assemblies just legislate and what they legislate does not or takes long to become law, it becomes very discouraging."
