    "content": "I rise to make a Statement pursuant to Standing Order No. 46 (2) (d) concerning Bills before the Committee. With regard to the County Ward Development Equalization Fund Bill 2018 that was forwarded to the Committee for prepublication scrutiny, I wish to report that my Committee scrutinized and communicated its decision to the Hon. Speaker for publication. With regard to the following three Bills; The Urban Areas and Cities (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 4 of 2017), The County Government (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill (Senate Bills No. 7 of 2017) and The County Government (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 11 of 2017), my Committee has undertaken public hearing and compiled a report that I have tabled today, Thursday 15th March, 2018. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to The Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill, 2018, my Committee has received public views and is currently compiling a report to table by next week. With regard to The County Boundary Bill, 2017, the Committee is still receiving memoranda and presentations from the public and key stakeholders. Owing to the sensitivity of the matter of boundaries, we hope to finalise and table the report by next week, Thursday, 22nd March, 2018. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have also noted that you have just referred to the Committee The County Government Amendment Bill, 2018 by Sen. Cheruiyot for pre-publication scrutiny. In conclusion, I wish to assure the House that my Committee is committed and up to the task to deliver its mandate within stipulated timelines in spite of the heavy workload. 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."
