    "content": "However, I support this Bill for a number of reasons. One, being what has been said by a few Members in this House that this is a ploy by the Senate of the Republic of Kenya to hoodwink Members of this Assembly into supporting what has been called their dog fight with the governors. That is a line of thought that I cannot buy. The Members of this National Assembly are intelligent enough to articulate the issues that are there between the county governments and the national Government. Indeed, this Bill, as has been put by the drafter from the Senate, seeks to do a very simple thing, to provide a forum at the county level for simple consultation between the national Government and the county governments. There is absolutely nothing wrong with creating a forum for consultation. There is an argument that has been advanced in this House that there will be a conflict between the Legislature and the Executive and once you participate in these county boards, you will be participating in the execution and implementation of projects in the county level."
