    "content": "some extent, I agree with the Leader of Minority. But there are some points that we must not just ignore when we come to this piece of legislation. So, Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will support this Bill to move to the next stage so that we can have deeper public participation when it goes to the relevant Senate Committee for us to discuss it. I want to urge Hon. Senators that what happened in the previous discussion should not be our immediate response to something we do not agree with. Let us give a chance to further discussion within our committees; let us give a chance to persuasion from both sides. It will not hurt us to do that. I would have loved it if the sponsor of this Bill would have explained to us what the real mischief this bill is trying to cure is. When you throw out the baby with the water, for instance, we will have an irrigation challenge and this house will not be able to touch an irrigation Bill for six months. If you think that you are removing powers from the county, now you have maintained the status quo by voting against that Bill for six months. So, in as much as I do not agree with its rationale here, I understand the Bill to this level. So, I will support it to give space for discussion, interrogation and public participation. If you will not agree with it after that, tunaangusha kwa Committee. Thank you, Deputy Speaker, Sir."
