    "content": "I totally agree with the Leader of the Majority Party. This is some of the information we got at the induction course. Most of those Motions were urging the Government. Even as the Committee on Implementation we were unable to do anything. Secondly, most of these Motions which were brought by Members were about functions of the county governments. If you tell them to build a hospital, yes, it will pass here and Members will agree but at the end of the day, the Government has no funds to go and build a dispensary at the county level. That is why we were indulging the leadership to scrutinise some of these Motions and for the Speaker to approve what will come for purposes of legitimacy and implementation. This is because, again, as much as we speak, we might not implement them. However, some of them were very important and they really assisted this House, particularly the issue of tarmacking of our roads. It came from a Member’s Motion and it was taken up and implemented. At least we have seen a few kilometres of roads in various constituencies being done. So, it is important that the Leader of the Majority Party has challenged us to be able to start bringing Private Members’ Motions on Wednesday mornings. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
