    "content": "Therefore the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights is happy to report that we are in the process of coming up with a similar legislation, but the one that affects counties directly. Before we do that, I am strongly pleading with Senators to allow that we amend Section 21 of the Government Proceedings Act by including a new section, which section will give the necessary protection of law to our county governments not to face the same wrath that Bungoma County has faced. This was brought to my attention by a judge of this beautiful country. It is possible that there are counties that have not been bold enough to subject these sort of judgements to legislators so that we can take action on it. I think it would be a far cry not to respond to the call of justice, to protect counties against what I call historical injustices financially by municipal councils. In moving this Bill, I would like to say, as contained in the Memorandum of Objectives of the Bill that it is not a money Bill and, in fact, we must seek directly to protect our county governments from what I have described in here before. I will invite a Senator who is familiar with Government proceedings because she was a State Counsel and she knows what I am talking about. Allow me to ask Sen. Janet Ong’era to second the Bill."
