    "content": "It is not about saying. I do not serve in committees. It is you, the Members, who serve in committees. I want reports of committees amending those provisions, which I will support. It is unfair that you have the Principal Secretary (PS) for the National Treasury a representative of the Attorney-General. These are people who think in a particular way, facing off against one individual to represent the interests of counties. This is not fair. We are failing in our duty as a Senate. As a Committee, you have a responsibility to go through a legislation such as this. I do not expect you to return to the House a report okaying such provisions. Reduce on that. I have told you that in many of these boards, people just sit down and copy and paste without applying their minds and appreciating that Kenya has since moved. The devolved system of government is here to stay. Therefore, I hope that when we consider such legislations, at least we will see near equal, if not equal number of representatives between the national Government and county governments, especially if it is a body that will oversee operations of activities that touch on the functions of both counties and the national Government.
