    "content": "(Mr. ole Metito): Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, I want to thank the 55 Members of this House who have contributed to this Bill. I know them very well. I am being asked how I have known them, but I have been following the debate very keenly. This Bill has attracted a lot of attention. The Members who spoke yesterday were 28 and today they are 27. So, in total, they are 55. I know that this was because of time otherwise all of them would have contributed. I just want to say that all of them talked about very pertinent issues, especially provision of transport for the Provincial Administration at the lower level like the chiefs, their welfare and the addition of village elders. All these things amount to costs. That is why I would like to convince this House that due to these huge costs, we will take this as a national Government service. The whole of these costs will be met by the national Government and not by the county governments. This will help the county governments utilize the funds they have for development projects at the county level and I promise that we will look into this. I urge hon. Members that they support the Bill at the Third Reading. If they approve, I think it is going to be milestone in the reorganisation of Government services in this country. I beg to move."
