    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to seek your guidance on the process that has brought this important Report in the House. The Report acknowledges how important it is that the Senate oversees county governments. I think that cannot be overstated and if clarification is made on what I want, I will probably discuss that much later. What I need guidance and clarification on, maybe because I am not a legal mind, is that the Committee Report starts by saying that at the beginning, these regulations were brought under the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. The Committee then discussed this with the Senate Committee and they agreed that the proper way to do it is to bring them under the Parliamentary Service Act. The Committee then does that and brings them under the Parliamentary Service Act, but then the main finding that now seems to annul this is lack of compliance with the PFM Act under which the Committee had said it should not be brought. For my mind, I need legal clarification and your guidance as to whether that in itself is not contradictory. Once that is done, and if you allow, then I will make my contribution on this matter. That seems important in my mind."
