    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I could not agree more with the Hon. Senior Mr. Samuel Chepkong’a. But I want us to look at it from a different angle as you deliver the ruling. That the Senate, in their thirst and hunger for fame, bonga points and to look good, have been on a smear campaign against the National Assembly. This happens almost every single day and we have kept quiet. Personally, every time this debate has come up on this Floor, I have sided with the Senate. For the last 10 to 11 years, I have always sided with the Senate because I believe they have a role to play. But where this is going, we are losing the Senate. It is not the National Assembly. We are losing the Senate because the counties lack laws to guide them on healthcare, agriculture, water, sports, culture and youth development. Additionally, they lack laws to guide them on trade and commerce. That is an issue. The issue is not even about the wars between us. It is about the Senate shacking its responsibility so that the counties are running on water, not on oil. That is the issue. But because of the Senate misunderstanding and refusing to understand its role, the counties are running amok. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
