    "content": "published can take five or six years. With this Bill, I hope that these services will now be closer to our people and therefore, they will be able to enjoy the fruits of devolution. Secondly, with the publishing of Bills, I am very sure that for the very first time, the county assembly will be able to deliberate on their Bills expeditiously so that they can turn them into law. Therefore this is a very important Bill and we give all the accolades to Sen. Sang and his colleagues for coming up with it. One thing I wanted to speak about is the office of the Government Printer. There have been several incidences where this office colludes with unscrupulous public officers. When we have legislated on a law, and inducted what should be done, when the actual Act comes out, you will find that they have written their own things or they have vested interest, from other public officers. They have now written a different law that we had not legislated. This has happened before; you recall, in the Tenth Parliament, such incident did occur and it actually brought a lot of public outcry. As we give opportunities for the opening up of the office of county printer, we hope that they will publish legislation that actually has been passed by the county assembly. We hope that this county printer’s office will not be misused by unscrupulous governors, to use it for their own political gains, for example, to print T-shirts and posters for campaigns. We want it to be used for the right services and that is, to ensure that government publication and government documents and Bills or Acts of Parliament or Acts of the County Assembly that are passed, are properly printed out and the people get the necessary services. With these remarks, I beg to support."
