    "content": "relationships on the basis of consultation and cooperation. So, this Bill seeks to enhance implementation of the Constitution. It seeks to involve all the elected leaders in every part of this country to work for the welfare of the people who elected them. Hon. Speaker, the outstanding issue is the quorum. The quorum for constitution of the board has been put at a third, instead of a half, for obvious reasons. The boards would be crippled if county government teams choose not to attend its sittings because they probably do not want to disclose what they are doing within the counties. They would simply deprive the boards of quorum. With the quorum set at one third of the membership, board meetings will take place easily. I would like to conclude my contribution by saying that the principal Act had not provided for penalties. So, this Bill will make us all sit and discuss matters of our counties. I urge the membership of this House to realise that this is the best next thing that has happened after the sliced bread. Hon. Speaker, with those remarks, I beg to support."
