    "content": "Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The clarification I am seeking is: When Ambassador Francis K. Muthaura, Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Cabinet wrote this letter to give these directives, was the Government aware that this House is supposed to legislate on the operations, functions, structures and content of the county governments as spelt out under Schedule Five? If so, after the PS issued that circular, has he not pre-empted what this House is likely to legislate on? Finally, when Ambassador Francis Muthaura wrote this letter, were there consultations within the Government, knowing very well this is a Grand Coalition Government of Party of National Unity (PNU) and ODM? Were there consultations and an agreement between these two bodies especially where the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government is already in the process of facilitating the preparation and tabling of Bills relevant for the implementation of the Devolution Chapter of the Constitution?"
