    "content": "governments. The county governments these days have boundary disputes among themselves. They have issues that relate to the county governments and the county assemblies. But the Senate does not deal with those issues. This Constitution, as it is, has it that the Senate should not meet always as it does these days, but only when there are issues relating to county governments. I can confirm that they will be meeting even when there are no issues relating to county governments. Why does the Senate have the mandate to summon even the Cabinet Secretary for Defence whereas defence is a national matter? How come the Senate has the mandate to form a committee that deals with interior matters that are for the national Government alone? The Senate has created work for itself. It is duplicating the work in the two Houses. That costs so much of taxpayer’s money. That money is meant to be used for development other than paying allowances for the Senate’s traveling, sitting allowances and creating unnecessary committees. The Bill by my colleague, Hon. Samwel Chepkong’a, is timely and right. It has come at the right time. I support the Bill."
