    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we did something very unusual last year. Last year, there was a Gazette Notice on 17 water bodies. In the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, we had requested the national Government to provide a transition, so that the national Government entities that provide water, which is a devolved function, could become county government authorities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have looked through the amendments and I want to agree with my Leader about this, that I have not seen a schedule of how that can happen in this Bill. I agree and propose, in addition to what the CoG is saying - this is one of the Bills that would make a mark for the Senate. Therefore, we would be doing an injustice to ourselves if we allow the 17 national entities that should be county entities not to be subjected to this Bill insofar as county governments are concerned. I am affected, as the Senator for Makueni County; please allow us to sit somewhere where we can put these people together. Thank you."
