    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a good report that has been presented by the Chair. I appreciate the work his Committee has done. However, I have one comment. At the beginning of a term of Parliament when we are doing such reports, I encourage Committee Chairpersons to not only lay the problem statements but also, go further and propose legislative solutions to the problems they have raised. This is a legislative body. There is no other institution that we are looking up to, to solve many of the challenges, such as enacting the Council of Governors (CoG), County Assemblies Forum (CAF) and other various regional bodies, into Acts of Parliament. As part of your report, and this goes out to the other Chairpersons as well; let us begin the process of having it as a legislative proposal. It can then go through the bureaucracy of Parliament and have it tabled here to conclude on this process. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is otherwise a very good report. Thank you."
