    "content": "members or leaders of the national Government? We sit here as leaders of the national Government. So, how does my learned senior get involved as a Member in Murang’a County? How does he interface with the management of this Authority? How does he do that? If it is considered that it is Governors who should sit as a council, where is the corresponding thinking on how the national Government would be served in this council? I would have thought - I know we are going to propose amendments - which the Bill would have sat under Clause 8, “two others nominated by members of the national Government or members of the National Assembly in that county.” Somehow, then, there would be an interface of the National Assembly or the national Government vis-a-vis the county. The bigger issue has to do with consequential legislation. Even if we pass this Bill today and we have touched on the County Government Act, the Traffic Act and other relevant legislation, to what avail or effect would this legislation be? What value will it have unless there is consequential legislation coming, as standalone; in Statute Law (Miscellaneous) Legislation; or, in this very Bill to amend the other legislation? Otherwise, we are going to act in futility. The biggest issue I want to talk about is public participation. Hon. Ichung’wah has a problem that I am talking about the 17 of us. The Bill is “the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill”; it is not “Kikuyu Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill”."
