    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to make two short points. The third one is the decisions which must be taken in this co-ordinating body – the intergovernmental co-ordinating body - that we are creating. We have said at the end of this Bill - in the schedule--- I will specifically point it out. It is under No 6 of the Schedule We have said that the decisions of this body, or the body that shall be created here, be it a working bodies or any body, will be by consensus. Now, there will be disputes which the Minister has alluded to, for example over water utilisation, or utilization of forest resources that run across counties. There will be disputes about rivers and riparian resources. There will be disputes about minerals, grass on one side or the other to which cows will come. There will be all these disputes, and in most cases neighbours may not reach a decision. Even if we are saying that the councils must have a consensus, we have got to create a mechanism that will allow for a finality in decision making. We have got to create that consensus. It should be the thing that will guide the process, but there will have to be decision-making at the end of it. That is why I propose to the Minister that we must create a voting mechanism in order to bring the disputes to a conclusion."
