I submit to the Senate that not a single county government has established a village council in as much as they have not established village administrators. The Constitution under the County Governments Act clearly says that a village administrator should have a village council to work with. It is stated that a village council will comprise five persons; two thirds of which must be of either gender. In order for villagers to be engaged in full public participation in the running of a county government, devolution must go to the village level. Village councils must be established according to the County Governments Act and a village administrator should be there to ensure that the village is administered properly. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to second."}
