    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the County Assemblies Powers and Privileges Bill (Senate Bill No.14 of 2014) be now read a Third Time. This is a very important Bill. As you know, county assemblies have not had any legislation to protect them from liabilities unlike this House. So, this Bill will go a long way in ensuring that county assemblies are protected. However, we hope that they will not use this Bill to keep fighting in the House like what we saw in Nairobi and Nyeri counties. Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) should be disciplined. They should be people of decency and they should not abuse the privileges that have been conferred to them by both the Senate and the National Assembly. They should be a replica of this House. People should not fight physical fights. We should use verbal fights. That is the only thing that the Constitution allows. These methods of people expressing their disagreements using their muscles to solve differences and conflicts in society are archaic.
