    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contributions to this important Bill. As the Senate, we are here to address such emerging issues that have been brought by my good friend, Sen. Wamatangi. When I realized that this Bill is being read a Second Time, it crossed my mind that this is one of those rare occasions that, as parliamentarians, we get to contribute to a similar Bill twice. I made my contribution to this Bill last term, but with the intrigues that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. rightly observed, it never got to pass all the rigorous stages for it to be considered public law. Today, we got a chance to make our contributions once again. This Bill is necessary for those of us who have keenly followed the events in our counties in the initial stages of devolution. As we move to the second term, as the Senate, we would be called upon on many occasions to come up with solutions to the increasing emerging trends and this particular Bill has addressed quite a number of them. It is my sincere hope that, as Senators, we shall continue to develop good pieces of legislation. Consequently, this will improve the operations of our counties, defend them and give Kenyans a basis of hope and realize that all is not lost despite the teething problems that we are experiencing. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
