    "content": "that is needed. It also requires a Senator to sit back and know what they can do to ensure that the county governments work well. When teachers are being employed, Senators want to get involved. When we are doing housing policy, they want to get involved. When we are sending police to Haiti, they want to get involved. There is so much to be done in the counties. Sports are almost dead. Our industries will be mounted. This country will grow on the back of industrial development in the counties. I request the Senate and my friend Senators that they will do well in having a model law on health for the counties to follow. They will do well in having a model law on agriculture for the counties to follow. They will do well in having proper sports law for the counties to emulate so that they can develop sports and work with sports. They will do well in having a proper law to guide Early Childhood Development (ECD) and early childhood learning. They will do well in ensuring that the county governments they have today are planning their counties well. The county governments require guidance. It is the role of the Senate to ensure guidance is given. I request the Senate to read the Constitution and get to know what their functions are. Can they, for a single moment, work on their functions so that the county governments can work well? As I yield the Floor, I want to request the two Speakers of our Houses not to get distracted on the journey they have started to ensure that we are not going to court again. Do not get distracted by cordiality. Finally, I also request the management of Parliament to ensure that we do not spend any more cent and time in supporting any court cases between these Houses of Parliament. I yield. Thank you."
