    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, Clause 4 (2) is really what we mediated. When the Bill went to the Senate and came back to us, we had a meeting with the Senate before the mediation and we agreed on everything except Clause 4 (2). So, for mediation, that was the only issue in contention which we debated and eventually agreed with the Senators. Just for the record, it is the National Assembly which, indeed, took a position that we should only have these offices only in drought-prone areas while recognising the fact that this being a State Corporation, it has a mandate to establish offices anywhere in Kenya whenever necessary. Also, we debated as the National Assembly and that is the position that we took. That is what took us to mediation. Eventually, the Senators also saw the sense in our position as the National Assembly and agreed with us that we should only have offices, for now, in drought-prone counties, but with the realisation that if necessary, with climate change and these extreme weather conditions happening here and there, in future, they may even establish offices in more counties."
