    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, last week on the request of the Senate Minority Leader we stood down the First Reading of the County Boundaries Bill, so that the schedule on two counties, that is, Siaya and Bungoma, which had been inadvertently omitted by the Office of the Government Printer, can be included. Madam Temporary Speaker, my only concern is that by approving this Motion, the Speaker’s Office might cause a conflict to the public; that we are proposing a Bill which provides the mechanisms of how county boundaries will be done. However, at the same time, we are asking the Office of the President to fix boundaries. The public will get confused as to what we are doing in the Senate. Therefore, we are sending the wrong signals. Secondly, Sen. Khaniri has been waiting for the last several months about an issue he has raised with our Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights and many others. The other day, we challenged Sen. Sang when they came up with a taskforce on the issue about setting up polling stations in the United States because a taskforce had already been formed. It will pose a tremendous challenge when we appear to be blowing hot and cold in the Senate."
