    "content": "I want to note that when this Bill went to the National Assembly, with recommendations and amendments from the Senate, we only had one sticking issue, which is the establishment of offices for the authority in the counties. When the Bill came to the Senate, it had no input at all from the county assemblies and the Senators felt that we needed to include membership from the Council of Governors (COG), so that we have representation especially in the board. Others felt that we needed to establish offices in the counties. We were able to hold a successful meeting on 2nd December, whose minutes we have attached to the Report. We ironed out the sticky issue of Clause 4 (a). Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion is asking the House to agree with the Mediation Committee on the amended Bill, so that we can fast-track it and it goes through the remaining procedures and stages in terms of becoming law. It is quite commendable that we were able to agree within one session. We had hard-line positions but reached a compromise position for the two Houses. All of us agreed that this is the right way that the Bill should be processed to become law. I beg to move that the Report be adopted by this House and request Sen. Karaba to second the Motion."
