    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I conclude by appreciating all colleagues that have taken time to comment on this very important matter and those that we have equally lent various criticisms and areas of improvement. I hope our colleagues will take time, those that sit in the Committee, to further enhance and make it better. Of course, the most prominent has been the place and standing of our counties, despite the assured percentage. I think it needs to be more definitive, like I listened to a few of our colleagues raise and say. I wish the role and the place of our county governments was more properly defined in the Bill. We have an opportunity to always enrich the work we do. Nothing stops us, even as soon as tomorrow, once the Bill has been assented to if we conclude on it as expected to, as the Houses of Parliament, to begin in securing that particular place that many of us are saying. We need to see our counties, especially the mother counties where these resources are domiciled, benefit more. I think that is a place we can take a lead. What I know from experience, just as a last comment, is that when any Bill comes from the National Assembly, it is very difficult to have a prominent role for our counties. The only place I see counties given prominence is when Bills commence in the Senate. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
