    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to move this Motion subject to permission being granted by the Speaker under Standing Order No.46 which reads as follows: “The Speaker may permit a Senator to move in an amended form a Motion of which notice has been given if in the opinion of the Speaker the amendment does not materially alter any principle embodied in the Motion of which notice has been given.” Subject to your permission, I will move as follows. However, before I proceed to move the Motion, I have to read out the Motion so that you see if the amendment materially alters the spirit and the substance of the Motion. I beg to move:- THAT, knowing that Section 17 of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution requires the national government to restructure the system of administration commonly known as the “Provincial Administration” to accord with and respect the system of devolved government established in the Constitution; noting that the Provincial Administration continues to operate in circumstances that have affected the exercise of certain functions and operations of the county governments; appreciating the doubts about the constitutionality of offices linked with the Provincial Administration including provincial, regional and county commissioners, as established and deemed to be part of the national government; the Senate resolves to establish a select committee comprising the following Senators to inquire into all existing legislation that may undermine the authority, mandate and functions of the county governments and draft appropriate legislation for enactment by Parliament. Madam Temporary Speaker, on that last line, I am deleting the words, “with the aim of drafting” and simply saying, “draft appropriate legislation by Parliament.” The names of the Senators to comprise the Committee include; 1. Sen. James Orengo 2. Sen. Beth Mugo The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
