    "content": "”. We expect that the Office of the County Attorney will work closely with the Office of the County Printer to ensure constitutionality of some of the Bills that will be published. We have seen instances where a widow in a county like Wajir comes with letters of administration to be published in the Kenya Gazette in Nairobi. We find that there are a lot of things pending in the counties because for counties to publish everything they do in the Kenya Gazette, they have to come to Nairobi. With this Bill, the people in the counties will have access to the County Gazette . If you need to change your names, it will be easy for that change to be published in the County Gazette . You do not have to come all the way to the Government Printer. If you lose your title deed, you do not have to come all the way to Nairobi for that publication to be done; you can do that in the county printer. People will feel these services which is the essence of devolution. There is no legislation on how the Kenya Gazette works. If you have been to that office, it operates like a secret organisation. You even wonder why those printers have never crashed due to the amount of work load that is expected of them. Counties also spend a lot of money putting up advertisements in newspapers which is very expensive. With a county printer, that cost will be mitigated. We will have Busia County printer, Baringo County Printer, Nyeri County Printer, et cetera and they will be recognised in law, as such, with this Bill. When wananchi are able to publish legal publications in this County Gazette, it will also act as a source of revenue for these counties. Even presidential speeches that are normally delayed because of printing can also be printed at the county printer and earn some revenue for the county. The County Printer, as envisaged in this Bill, will be handling matters purely related to the proper functioning of the county governments. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to move. I would like to invite Sen. Cherargei to second this Bill."
