    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Were for coming up with this Bill which serves a very important purpose and fills a very important gap in law. It is very clear that the whole essence of devolution is to devolve service delivery to the lowest level part of which is legislation that is being done by the county assemblies. As the Constitution has clearly stated, for the county assemblies to legislate as stated in Article 199 of the Constitution, it does not take effect until it is published in the county and National Government gazette. The county gazette is referred to in the Constitution, which was promulgated in 2010, but it is still not in effect. The National Government Printers is being overworked and that affects their service delivery at the county level because they have to queue before they can get their laws published or gazetted. The county gazette will serve a very important purpose in fulfilling the loophole or vacuum that exists of an institution being referred in law, but it is not in existence. Due to lack of county gazette, people in the counties who seek services from the county governments still have to come to the National Government Printers in Nairobi to gazette anything. This is an important Bill which serves a very important purpose. I hope"
