    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, although I have been ambushed, I gladly accept to second. That is because I think the Minister for Finance has done the right thing. We were going to have complete chaos without the passage of this particular Bill. I am sure that there will be a smooth transition. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, without this Bill, it would have been impossible to understand how to proceed. I want to make it clear that my understanding of this Bill is that it is purely transitory and that, as soon as it reaches around 30th of September---In any event, if the county governments are able to put their house in order earlier, this particular Act will lapse. Therefore, the concerns that some of our colleagues are raising about the Bill; that it is establishing some new officers and usurping the powers of the county government are not true. That is required for the purposes of smooth transition. There are a few other errors in several other laws which may require attention. But I hope the next Parliament will immediately deal with that. Probably, we will be proposing some little amendment so that it can clean up several other laws that continue to refer to local authorities and other institutions which will no longer exist after 4th March. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to second."
