    "content": "strongly propose that we send this Bill again for public participation. Otherwise, we will be making an illegal law as a House. Whether Sen. Omtatah is beaten up or not, this is a matter we must go back to court to deal with, including any other Act we have passed without redoing public participation as a Senate, especially when it originates and co- sponsored by the two Majority Leaders. When our own Senate Majority Leader co-sponsors, he must have a voice and direction in co-sponsoring a Bill of Parliament. He should not just rush it to the Senate to get a rubberstamp and forward it to the Executive for signature, when we know well that on the face of it, it is a defective law, especially Clause 27. Madam Temporary Speaker, I can only support this Bill with amendments. As it is, it is a bad law for the country. We have been in business of passing bad laws that originate from the National Assembly. This should be the last one. We should put down our foot, make the necessary amendments, call for mediation and make sure we have a law that is best for the counties and Kenyans. I thank you."
