    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to move the following Motion:- THAT, the Senate approves the Report of the Mediation Committee on the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2013) laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday, 1st April, 2014. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Report of the Mediation Committee relating to the amendment to the County Governments (Amendment) Bill No.2, seeking to amend the County Governments Act to provide for the establishment of County Development Boards in our counties. You will remember that this is an amendment Bill that was moved in this House, the Senate approved the Bill as provided for under the Constitution, and the Bill was forwarded to the National Assembly for its consideration. The National Assembly rejected the Bill and as provided again by the Constitution, the Bill was subjected to a Mediation Committee. The Mediation Committee comprised of Sen. Amos Wako, Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a, Sen. Kiraitu Murungi, Hon. Katoo ole Metito, Hon. (Dr.) David Eseli Simiyu and myself. We sat down as a Committee and I want to take this opportunity to appreciate the support and the contribution by the various Members of the Mediation Committee. We had issues that were raised by the Members of the National Assembly. You will remember that this Amendment Bill had provided for the establishment of development forums or consultative forums across the county level, the sub-county level and the ward level. The Members of the National Assembly raised valid concerns on the existence of the proposed Ward Development Boards and Sub-county Development Boards. At the 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."
