    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. Allow me to speak on behalf of the Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations to which I belong. The Chairman inadvertently indicated to the Chair that he was withdrawing all the amendments that came from the Committee. Upon consultations with the Senate Majority Leader, we believe that these amendments are merited. Some are aligning the Bill with devolution. Clauses in the Bill that are referring to districts which are no longer in existence are to be amended to talk about counties. I would request that after dealing with the amendment by the distinguished Senator for Kisumu, we report progress and allow the Chairman to acquaint himself clearly with the amendments - because this Bill is more than a year old on the Floor the House - so that we can deal with them maybe tomorrow. This is because wholesomely withdrawing them is injurious to, in fact, the spirit and letter of the Bill."
