    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, first, I would like to congratulate all those people who have brought these amendments. We allowed these amendments because we were just beginning. As you realized, the whole of last year, we were mostly on Motions as we prepared to bring Bills and because we were not quite ready, Members were exercising their right to bring Bills to the House. Both of these Bills were really a one or two clauses amendments. Now, one or two clauses amendments to an existing Bill should actually be part of the Statute Law Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill which is brought to this House by the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. Therefore, my plea now is that in future if you have one or two amendments to an existing Bill, bring that amendment to the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights and we shall bring a composite statute law composed of all the amendments. We shall have one sitting and we shall complete it. Secondly, is with regard to the headquarters. I personally would be very hesitant to say that all the counties of Kenya should have one plan for how the State House should look like, the administrative block, et cetera, in uniform. That reminds me of colonialism. It is in colonialism that you will find that most of the high courts of former British colonies are all looking the same. Let there be a ceiling or a limit on the amount of money to be spent on this and let each county have its own architectural drawings which fit in with the environment which is there in that county. I support."
