    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to start by appreciating the Seconder of the Bill, Sen. Karaba, and Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for his wisdom. The canvassing of the role of the county governments has actually been an ongoing process. In fact, this Bill was listed on the Order Paper but on request of different stakeholders including the Ministry and the CoG, I stepped it down so that we could engage in a more constructive discussion. We have had submissions of memoranda from the CoG. I totally feel and agree with what Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo has spoken about because this movement is basically at the grassroots level. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am very appreciative of the process. I hope that this Bill will be supported. To respond to Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, that is why I was saying this Bill is many years late. In fact, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, if you register a company, you register it under the Companies Act but this group had no legal framework under which it is anchored. The Ministry has been developing something but we were able to convince them that this Bill has already taken care of that and that they should put their input to what we already had as a framework so that we can be able to enrich it. I think that is what has happened. We have not agreed on everything but we have reached a consensus on some of the issues that will touch on the third reading. So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that I will look at the amendments as we take it to the committee stage. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
