    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember where she sits. We did not stop the ball there. I felt that we still needed the Council of Governors (CoG). I reached out to them and the Chairman of the water sector in the Council of Governors (CoG) made appointments to come and meet the Committee. We called all the Members of the Committee and Governor Cheboi came with two lawyers. We also invited our legal department because I had seen their document was big. We listened to them and we again scrutinized it, point by point. It took five hours until we finished all the points on the memorandum. We did not just take a decision out of that day. We tasked our legal department to look into all the comments which were made by the lawyers of the Council of Governors (CoG) and the Chairman himself. We had another sitting whereby we were guided through by our legal department with the Bill and the comments from the Council of Governors (CoG). All these comments were included in our Committee submission to this House. Whereas I do not want to say we can hold another seminar a third time, I do not know how many more seminars we need to hold and what will make--- Shall we have another document other than the one submitted by the Council of Governors (CoG) and shall we have another set of lawyers from the Council of Governors (CoG) and another legal department from this House to relook into their comments? My humble request would be, if there is any amendment pending that needs to be introduced, it can still be introduced at the Committee Stage. Since we have already taken care of the comments from the Council of Governors (CoG), ministries and all the stakeholders, it is my humble submission that we do not keep this House looking at a Bill for more than a year when we have collected all these comments. It is my humble submission that we proceed."
