    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would also like to support the amendment to that Act of Parliament as Moved by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. If you look at Fourth Schedule in the context of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution which lays out the separation of powers, assignments or functions between the National and county governments, you will find that we made laws in the last Parliament regarding the Fifth Schedule. But we did not make all the laws that were necessary to make sure the separation of power between the national and county governments work smoothly. Many laws that exist in the Republic of Kenya assume that there is only one government. It is, therefore, just logical that my friend, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., has started this very important process of making sure that the Senate makes relevant laws to effect the Fourth Schedule because it assigns functions to the two levels of government, but only one level of government has what you might call “completer laws” to perform functions than the other one. The other one still has a huge deficit of laws to be passed by this House, which looks out for the affairs of the counties to function properly."
