    "content": " I will not make heavy weather from what Sen. Murkomen has said, particularly when he paraphrases his comments by saying I am his mentor. So, the use of the word “cunning”, I am sure that he is going to think about it twice now that the Attorney-General emeritus has talked about it. Having said that, I think the problem is not just with the counties; the problem is with the national Government. The national Government should begin to realize that when there are functions which belong to the counties, if they want to make an intervention at the policy level, then the matter should be brought to the Senate for discussion. When the national Government decided to bring mobile clinics and equipment for the counties, they were brought without sufficient consultations. Some of the counties tried to resist and they were called names and the Senate was not involved at all as to how the equipment was bought and under which circumstances. I think what Sen. Khaniri has brought out here is lack of synergy between policies which are being made at the level of the Executive but without getting the sanction and approval of the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe I am not a passenger in the Senate. When the Government decides to come up with a matter or a policy, although it may not require legislation, but matters of policy should be brought to the Senate for discussion and 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."
