    "content": "If you look at this Bill - the mischief behind this Bill - it goes ahead to say that the quorum for the county development board meeting shall be only half of all its members. You find a situation where in many cases, if you combine the Senator, the Women Representative and Members of the National Assembly in a county, they will constitute more than half of the membership of those boards. So, you want to give room for Senators, Members of the National Assembly and Women Repsentatives to make decisions for the counties. It is not acceptable! This is one sure way of killing devolution that many Kenyans fought for very hard. Indeed, many Kenyans shed blood for it and many Kenyans died for it. This House must stand firm and reject this Bill in whatever form it is. It is mischievous to the extreme for the Senate to originate such a Bill and expect us to rubber-stamp. It cannot be acceptable!"
