    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think the point that my colleagues have made is very point because there seems to be an assumption in certain quarters that when the national Government makes laws, it should exclude itself from any happening in the county governments. What is important is what hon. Isaac Ruto said in a situation where according to Schedule Four states the powers of the county government, that when the national Government makes certain laws that will touch on the county government, the element of consultation and concurrence should be there. It means that the national Government cannot make any law because, in any case, it is a county government that forms the nation. I think there are certain quarters which have misunderstood this and have gone ahead to say that any law made when powers are in the county government, the national Government should completely keep off. I mean a state or nation cannot work like that. So, I really fully support that amendment to bring out that issue."
