    "content": "As you are all aware, the Senate approved the report of the Mediation Committee on the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill, Senate Bill No.4 of 2013 on 9th July, 2014 after the National Assembly similarly adopted the same on 3rd July, 2014. Hon. Senators, you will note that in accordance with the new Section 91(a)(7) of the County Governments (Amendment) Act, a County Development Board (CDB) is to be established in each county within 30 days of the commencement of the Act. Thus in accordance with the law, the CDBs should be established and convened in each and every county on or before Thursday, 18th September, 2014. Copies of the said Act are available at the Senate Journals Office opposite the entrance to the Senate Chamber on the Ground Floor, Main Parliament Building. Hon. Senators, I also wish to take this opportunity of this Act to also make the following remarks: That a false and malicious impression has been created that the Senate intends to usurp the executive powers of governors and to control the billions of shillings for development in the counties as the law establishing the CDBs becomes operational. Nothing can be further from truth. Such allegations are false, misleading and 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."
