    "content": "As we contemplate strengthening assemblies in many other ways including what I hear as proposals to enhance education of MCAs so that they can understand just like the County Assembly of Nairobi, Nakuru and Kisumu, their work is not to throw around the Speaker, spoons and chairs on the floor, but work to make laws, budgets, analyze and criticize fiscal papers and make plans. The only way we can do it is through this method. Madam Temporary Speaker, if there is a Bill that is urgent, it is this one because it is the way. If I was to say it like it was said in the Bible, this is the way, the truth and the life of our county governments. This is so that in another year to come or in another Senate, they will not change and make this Senate like this one where we have been turned to morticians and undertakers where our work is just to read bad reports about who is pilfering funds, buying houses, has sent whatever it is that they have been doing and all the bad manners and habits that are going on in counties. I will end there and tell Senators all is not lost. Money has been taken away from us but as they say in English, behind every cloud there is a silver lining. One of the silver linings is this Bill and that silver lining is to say the old is gone. Behold, the new has come. The new that has come is the County Assembly Services Bill which intends and will ensure that we have county assemblies that we are truly proud of. Not to say that we are not proud of our assemblies but to the assemblies that we have now are a pale shadow of what the drafters of this Constitution intended. With those few remarks, I support."
