    "content": "The Bill also provides a mechanism for resolving disputes that arise from agreements made my economic blocs. In this Bill, counties are also allowed to partner with the national Government and individuals. However, the Bill is also clear that 40 per cent of the income needs to go back to the counties. This is about local content. I am happy that Sen. Moi came up with that. Any development must benefit the locals. This Bill ensures that locals benefit because 40 per cent of the income goes back to the counties. As the 40 per cent goes to counties, county executives need ensure they give employment to PWDs, women and the youth. Madam Deputy Speaker, I wish to thank Hon. Mandago on this Floor. He has done a lot when it comes to issues of PWDs. The PWD themselves attest that he has prioritised their employment. He has a mechanism put in place to ensure that PWDs have employment. County executives need to be sensitive and award viable tenders and jobs to PWDs. I have said many times on this Floor that PWDs only lack the opportunity to showcase their potential. I hope that many other county executives will benchmark from Hon. Mandago and on board PWDs so that they can take part in development of counties and the country at large. In the same breadth, I also thank Safaricom Ltd for also employing PWDs. This company gives PWDs honourable jobs. I commend Sen. Nyamunga for coming up with such a noble Bill. I know and believe that my fellow Senators will also support it, so that it sees light at the end of the tunnel. I second."
