    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I would like to state at the outset that I support the expeditious passing of this Bill. We have an opportunity, as Parliament, to play our role in enhancing the functions of devolution in this country. Being an important organ of Government, as a standalone autonomous organ of the Government, we have the role to supporting the business of the counties and by extension according required services to our constituencies. More importantly, we recognise the situation we are coming from. As a country, we have had an extended period of campaigning and electioneering that grounded to a halt the provision of important services by both the national Government and county governments. It is in that vein that I stand to support that we expedite the passing of this Bill. While at it, I also call upon the Members of both sides of the House to see the need for us, as Members of Parliament, to put aside some of our small differences when it comes to dealing with issues of national concern. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
