    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, protect me from distraction of Members. They should keep their consultations at the lowest levels possible so that they do not distract my attention. I agree that under the objects of Article 174, we need to ensure that some of these functions are devolved properly. This Bill will ensure that it facilitates devolution to the lowest level possible as envisaged under 174 of the Constitution. In the interest of ensuring that we dispense justice, it is important that Kenyans understand that it is not only about courts of law or the Judiciary; justice is an all round. That is why in this Bill we are trying to ensure that we have the offices of the County Attorney, County Solicitor and the County Legal Advisor. Madam Temporary Speaker, you will remember that most counties are struggling with pending bills amounting to around Kshs90 billion. One of the largest pending bills in the counties is the legal fees that the lawyers charge because we do not have a legal framework. We have to appreciate that most counties have their own format of legislation on how to hire county legal advisors, county attorneys or county solicitors. Therefore, the 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."
