    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Intergovernmental Relations Amendment Bill, (Senate Bill No.12 of 2024), be now read a Second Time. This is a very simple and straightforward Bill. It is something that we have debated before and tried to bring consensus on it. Sen. M. Kajwang’ and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale will remember the very difficult relationships we have had between the Senate and the Council of Governors (CoG). In fact, in our initial Report of the Senate Committee on Finance and Budget, we pointed out to the Controller of Budget (CoB) that it was illegal and unconstitutional for counties to continue sending resources to an unregistered entity. For many seasons, we could not agree with our colleague leaders, the governors of this Republic, on how to treat that particular institution. This Bill seeks to establish a long-standing legal relationship between the CoG, the national Government, the Senate, and many other institutions about it."
