    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o): Because if you do not delete the full stop, it is not proper grammar. So, you have to remove the full stop and then add that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me say the following; it is really our responsibility, as Senators, to work very closely with the county assemblies. For us to work very closely with the county assemblies, we must ensure that our colleagues in the county assemblies are respected. I think the point that Sen. Murungi was making was very important because if, indeed, county assemblies feel that they are no better than the previous councillors, we are not going to engage in very meaningful discourse with them because they are going to see us as imposters from above, who are big boys talking to underdogs. Let me give you an example, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The son of Joe Biden, the Vice President of the USA, is currently the Attorney-General of Delaware State. When his father was named the Vice President, he was asked to take over his father’s seat as Senator for Delaware and he refused. He said he had rather continue as the Attorney- General for Delaware State to complete the work he was doing at the State rather than go to the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the kind of spirit that we must instil in our county assemblies; by making sure that this so-called Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) must know that in order to attract good human resources, you must give them good terms of service to perform well."
