    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for intervening. It is true that I have brought amendments; I am happy that you made a ruling on that particular one. I will then proceed to say that the Fourth Schedule in Part II does indicate what the county government can do. Part of the things that the county government can do will be making legislation with regard to what I have read. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Constitution does give provisions in terms of where these particular things can be done and that is in Article 186(1) of the Constitution. That particular provision says that if this House, for example, wanted to do the work of the county government, it can only do so in the manner that Article 186(1) of the Constitution does anticipate. I am sure, perhaps, we have not been able to do that very well. Article 187(2) of the Constitution does give reasons. If at all you want to have any powers that are supposed to be for the county government, then the responsibility to do so remains with the House or the level of the Government to which it is assigned. I really think that if we proceed with enacting these Bills, we will then be in contravention of the constitutional provisions."
