    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to the Bill. This is a very important Bill. At the national level, the head of the Executive is the President and at the county level, the head of the executive is the governor. The President has the Attorney-General as the chief legal advisor and a county governor also needs a legal advisor. So, this Bill has come at the right time having been long overdue. Counties have been paying exorbitant fees in legal bills. Some of the pending bills we have heard that counties owe are because of the huge legal fees that have to be paid to the lawyers. With the Office of the County Attorney, the amount will be reduced and some of that money could be channeled to development projects. With the Office of the County Attorney, we will also see an improvement in the kind of legislation that comes from the county assemblies and that is laudable. County policies will also be checked by the Office of the County Attorney, so that as policies are implemented, they will be sure to have adhered to the Constitution and the clogs in the development process will be reduced. 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."
