I wish to also voice my appreciation to the Senate for trying to put in place procedures and privileges which are supposed to be used by county assemblies in order to carry their activities without interference. Other than a few issues here and there which, of course, we will look at when the Bill comes to amendment stage, I would want to say that county assemblies, just like the National Assembly, must also be guarded by law because they deal with matters which affect the nation, although at the county level. The powers and privileges accorded to Members of the National Assembly and the Senate must be extended to the county assemblies because they also legislate, oversee and represent people. Therefore, they need powers and privileges like we do. They also need immunities, especially when they conduct their business in the precincts of the county assemblies.
