    "content": "You do not need to freeze I am not standing. You must take notes at this stage, because the issues that are going to be raised at the moment have certain implications on your Bill. Sen. Amos Wako, the issues that you, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr, the Senate Minority Leader and the Senate Deputy Minority Leader and many other Senators have already identified the areas that could have been problematic. Whereas I have not read the ruling of the former Speaker, I do not think he was saying specific. It must have been generally. As long as you are puncturing holes on areas that require amendments generally, then it is suffices to say then ultimately, in the Third Reading, that as a result of the issues that we had raised at that point in time, these are the amendments we are bringing forward. The reason I needed the Senate Majority Leader to take serious attention, was if you look at this Bill, you will realize that the Bill is almost like a Bill being brought forward to align various legislation with devolved systems of Government. In his consultation with his brothers in the “Lower House” and between the two Speakers, it would be preferable that this is the House to begin with because of its specialty on matters of counties. All the amendments which are being brought, almost 80 to 90 per cent- I am not saying it is mandatory - but it is preferable that it should have engineered from the House of specialty on matters of county Government, and then it would have been easy to inform the other House of the various amendments. It needs that kind of specialty for that matter. This is for persuasive purposes in your further consultations with your brother in the “Lower House” and also together with the other leadership of the National Assembly. I am persuaded that we should proceed with the seconding. I have ignored you Sen. Billow Kerrow for now because you will be the first one to contribute."
