    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to make my voice heard on this Bill that proposes to make the county assemblies independent. I begin by thanking you as the author of this Bill. The people of Meru County should know that your Bill will contribute a great deal to stopping the fights that we have seen from the Meru County between the governor and the hon. MCAs. I have no doubt that once this Bill is enacted, we shall have peace in the County of Meru. I do not think there is any Senator who will be in opposition. At times MCAs do not like to be beggars. That is what brings friction between the MCAs and office of hon. governor. We thank you. This Bill will not just benefit the people of the County of Meru, but will also benefit all the 47 counties of the Republic. Our contribution will be fully to support this Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want to see our county assemblies getting the stature that is in other countries that have devolved system of government. Last week, you saw the way the newspapers reported the election of Hon. Huldah Momanyi as a member of the State Parliament of Minnesota. It made news here. This Bill contributes to raising the stature of our MCAs in our county assemblies. Let me also take this chance, if you allow me to pass my congratulations to Hon. Huldah Momanyi. That is a daughter of the great County of Nyamira. A migrant from The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
