    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I would also like to add my voice by supporting the Government Proceedings (Amendment) Bill. I want to take this opportunity to thank Senator Mutula for bringing this amendment. County governments are very vulnerable. They are new and may not know that they can be exposed to some litigation. It is important that counties and their properties are protected. This Bill is very timely. Some governments have inherited properties from the former county and municipal councils. In Makueni County, some properties have not been handed over to the county government. This Bill is coming at a time when these properties must be protected. They should not be exposed to either seizure or court procedures. It is important to caution the county governments not to expose themselves to litigation particularly on procurement issues. It is important for them to adhere to procurement procedures in order to avoid court cases. Therefore, this Bill is very timely and I support it."
