    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First, I can confirm that this House has done a good job since we resumed from the last recess. I hope that we will do more when we come back. Perhaps, we will have collected a lot of information which can assist the progress of this House and nation. Madam Temporary Speaker, we were elected to protect the interests of the county governments. I cannot, therefore, represent people whom I do not understand. We may, therefore, need to come up with a strategy. We appointed a Select Committee to review the Constitution, but I think our problem is not to review the Constitution. All of us understand the Constitution. Even if there is a Member who does not understand it, there is always somebody next to that Member; a lawyer or a learned person like Professor here, to explain to him or her. I, therefore, think that we are using diversionary tactics. We are not holding the bull by the horns. Let us be clear and open to county governments. There is no county government which is performing to our expectations. They are all in total mess because of the money they receive from the national Government. Suppose the Members of the Senate received similar amount of money; we would be living in the house of Babylon. I believe some of them will do the same thing that county governments are doing. We must give direction."
