    "content": "Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to say a few things in support of this Motion. As I do so, I will thank the Minister for the extensive consultations that have gone into developing this Bill together with the other three which are the key to devolution. Those are the County Government Bill, the Transition to Devolved Government Bill and the Public Finance Bill. These are the four Bills that are the legal framework for actualizing the devolution and the county aspect. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I thank him let me also say that as we propose amendments; let us just remember that we voted for two governments; the National Government and the County Government. None should emasculate the other. At the same time a unitary State. We are not Federal States. With those realizations and once we read the four Bills together then we will come to the realization that these are Bills that have been very well thought out. These are Bills that have been very well crafted except whatever a human being does there an always be room for improvement. As a result, my Committee has looked at them and there are a few amendments that we will be proposing at the Committee Stage."
