"content": " I would like at this point in time to, first of all, recognize and inform the Members that this is a Bill concerning counties. To make it even more clearer, if it was not a Bill concerning counties, it would not have come here. The decision as to whether it is a Bill concerning counties or not has already been made and so it is not a subject of debate here. I want to bring to the attention of the House the election date opinion of the Supreme Court which said that anything that touches on election, the welfare, and the well being of the Senate concerns counties. That is why the Powers and Privileges Act is part and parcel of the Bills that concern counties. Otherwise it would completely have been ridiculous if the Senate was to legislate itself or be locked out of issues that would concern Senate itself because Senators are the ones protecting counties. I want to accede to the request by Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki on the question of postponing the voting to the time we shall agree to, as Senators, in terms of voting as will be designated by the Speaker."
