    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek for further clarification from you on this vexing matter of the meaning and the interpretation of what is a Bill concerning counties and the necessary consultation that is supposed to take place between the Speakers of the two Houses. I noticed that today morning, the debate on the Statutes Law Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill of 2013, has been going on in the National Assembly. I also notice when I went through that Bill this morning, a copy of which I have, that several clauses in the Bill refer to Acts concerning counties that are intended to be amended. With your permission, allow me to cite just a few. There is an intention to amend the Urban Areas and Cities Act, the Transition to Devolved Government Act, the County Governments Act, the Agriculture and Fisheries Food Authority Act and, finally but not least, there is also an intention to amend the Crops Act and the Kenya Agricultural Livestock Research Act. As you have heard from the few examples that I have given, they are all clearly concerning the counties. If these Bills are concerning counties, I would like you not to get tired, but to come out clearly to us and tell us candidly whether, indeed, there has been any consultations between you and the Speaker of the National Assembly in the meaning 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."
