    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to start by highlighting a number of issues that we encountered within the County of Mombasa. During our visit to the County Assembly of Mombasa, we met with the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) and they raised a number of issues that I want to highlight. One of the major challenges that were raised by the MCAs is remuneration. This is something that we have discussed in this House before. It is an issue that is almost crippling the operations of county assemblies. It is important that this House, based on even the discussions that we had yesterday, shows solidarity and continues to press on in terms of handling the issue of remuneration. Beyond that, an issue was raised within our counties that the MCAs are unable to develop legislation and Bills within their counties. We need to build the capacity of county assemblies within our counties. I know that this is not just with regard to Mombasa County, but something that is replicated across this country. My own MCAs in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
