    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for bringing this matter to this House. We may not blame the President the way he acted this time round because it is the law. If you read the County Governments Act on the way dissolution or a suspension is supposed to happen, he was not bound by the law to bring that Report here as it is right now unless we were to go for a suspension or dissolution of the county. We are the first Senate under this Constitution. Therefore, we will be doing this for posterity. Ten to 50 years down the line, we want it to be said this Senate acted in accordance with its constitutional mandate. Therefore, it is in order that we have that report here because we need to have legislative interventions. Some of these provisions like those in the County Government Act do not need a referendum to be amended. We should pick out these issues from the Nyaoga Commission. Otherwise, it will be a waste of public resources. We must use this as a benchmark for other counties. This is because it has brought out issues that many other counties have not been able to bring out. Therefore, it is in order that we have that report brought here so that we can deliberate on it and know how we can intervene in terms of policy and legislation for future generations. Thank you."
