    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, naturally, you do not expect me to oppose this Bill. Therefore, I support it very strongly. I want to remind hon. Members that when we were campaigning for the new Constitution, we went round the country and the members of the public unanimously said that they wanted chiefs to continue in service. At the committee of this House in Naivasha, we made it clear that the service called Provincial Administration would be retained. Therefore, this Bill intends just to do what the Constitution said. We require the Provincial Administration for the security of this country and the co-ordination of development. Us we grow, there is no doubt that there, probably, will be no need for the Provincial Administration. But we are very far from that. So, for the time being, I persuade my colleagues who are opposed to this Bill to support this Bill and let the Provincial Administration continue in service. We want to ensure also that there is harmony between the county governments and national Government. I want to support Mr. Musikari Kombo. You cannot have village elders under the county governments. They must be put under chiefs. Eventually, we will have to adjust this. I want to raise one question. Section 14---"
