    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill has come in at a good time to ensure that come 5th March, by the time we have a new Government and new county governments, which nobody has seen before--- It will be a new thing, but we should not have a disconnect between county governments and existing systems due to lack a legal structure that can properly define the inter- linkages and the relationships between the two systems. So, I am very happy that this is coming. What I would like to assure the hon. Members who are concerned that, perhaps, we are bringing it too early when we have five years, is that this is only a first step. Within the next Parliament and some of us hope to be here, there will be further refinements to this Bill and to the inter-linkages with lessons learnt from the actual implementation of the Government at the county level, led by the Governors and the national level, led by the President. This is because there will be many lessons that will come from that interaction. But I am very happy that this has come and I want to recognize the work that is being done by the Provincial Administration and chiefs in terms of conflict resolution, public mobilization and the work that they do at that level. It is very good that we recognize that and have them."
