    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you know the respect that I have for debate and Sen. Mumma is a very well-informed lawyer. You could help the drafter of this Bill if you could expound a little bit just in two or three minutes, why you are uncomfortable with the Cabinet Secretary drawing the rules and regulations. My understanding is that the drafter is perfectly in order. You and the Leader of Majority are wrong for the reason that the law that is being drafted is a national law. Having drafted a national law, if there are – in fact, there should be rules and regulations accompanying – they are not drafted by county governments. County government Chief Executive Committee Members (CECMs) draft rules for county laws. This is one national law that cuts across the 47 counties. Why are you asking the Minister to leave his work and market to county assemblies? The threat, if you explain to me, is that if you throw it back to the CECMs, you will find us back to where we are. In that, the CECM of Busia County will make his own regulations that will now start to hamper business from being done by the neighbouring counties. If you could just help us. As you do so, also help us by referring to the principle of conflict between national and county laws. I thank you."
