    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to continue moving this Bill. The Office of the County Printer Bill (Sen. Bill No.42 of 2014) seeks to establish the office of the county printer as indicated so that we may have a county printer in each of the 47 counties. The establishment of the office is precipitated by the provisions of Section 23 of the County Governments Act. The County Governments Act and the Constitution clearly indicates that for legislation in our county assemblies to be effective: (1) it must be published under (a) in the County Gazette and (b) in the Kenya Gazette. The interpretation section of the Constitution, Article 260, defines the Gazette as one published under the authority of the national Government as the Kenya Gazette. However, all through the Constitution – if you look at the County Governments Act, it provides that county legislations shall be printed in the county gazette and the Kenya Gazette. As we speak, we have the Kenya Gazette. That is what is provided for and domiciled under the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. However, we do not have a county gazette as yet. Therefore, the Bill seeks to give effect to the provisions of the County Governments Act in so far as providing and establishing a county gazette. Whereas the Constitution provides that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
