    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second the County Governments (Amendment)(No.2) Bill (Senate Bills No.7 of 2017). The amendments to this Bill have been presented well by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. Having been the Senator for Makueni County when it became the first county to experience this, he is well placed to bring these amendments with best experiences. Madam Temporary Speaker, the amendments are important because they are bringing in the role of the Senate in the processing of the termination of a county government or in the processing of its suspension. This is whereby both the petition and the report will be submitted to the Senate for deliberation, because it will be submitted to the relevant Committees to discuss further. The amendments also deal with a lacuna in the law and, therefore, provide clarity by taking care of it. The recommendations from the commission of inquiry that will have been established by the President to determine the suspension or termination of a county government will also give the Senate an opportunity to come up with further policies or legislative proposals to help improve our interactions or oversight on county governments. I, therefore, second this Bill with those remarks. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
