    "content": "(iv) Hon. (Sen.) Bonny Khalwale, MP; (v) Hon. (Sen.) Sang, MP; and, (vi) Hon. (Sen.) Kipchumba Murkomen, MP. We were a total of eight Members. As you know, what we were mediating on was what was disagreed upon between the two Houses. It was passed by the National Assembly without amendment, but an amendment was introduced to Section 23 in the Senate. It was the Transition to Devolved Government Act, 2012 (Act No. 1 of 2012). It says that where the Authority determines that a county government meets the criteria for the transfer of a function under Section 24, it shall propose a programme to support and strengthen the capacity of that county government, which shall be implemented by the national Government in consultation with the county government to enable that county government to perform the transferred function. Hon. Speaker, we had a total of three meetings. This was a fairly straightforward matter. The term of the Transition Authority (TA) came to an end at the beginning of this month and, therefore, seeking to vest powers to an organisation that no longer exists does not make sense. As a Committee, we agreed that this clause be removed from the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No.2) Bill. The decision was unanimous. We adopted it and it was signed. The Report was tabled on Tuesday. I am moving that the mediated version of the Bill, which excludes Section 23, which was Clause 5(a); be adopted without that clause because it is spent. The Act itself is spent. I request Hon. Tom Bosire to second."
