    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had listened to the other contributors to this Motion and appreciate the presentations and interventions by the Members who spoke. But I still urge the House to support the Motion. This is because if you take an inventory of the laws which are still in the statute books; some which even emanate from the period before the Second World War, that relate to various forms of legislation that now affect counties, you will find that unless an exercise of this nature is taken to correct any legislation which may undermine the authority of the devolved system of government, the operations of these counties will be extremely difficult. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know that under the Constitution and its Schedules, there are various laws which are anticipated for legislation or have been legislated upon. Looking to the future, many laws will be enacted to ensure that the devolved system works efficiently and effectively. But the object of this Motion was to effectively look at legislation which is already in the statute books of the recent past or even during the colonial days. We need to come up with draft legislation for this House to approve for amendment or repeal. 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."
