    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I would like to appreciate the extremely meticulous work that has truly indicated that the National Assembly is taking very seriously its role as defined in the Constitution and expected by the people. Given the comments that have been made by a lot of colleagues with which I concur, I wanted to mention or weigh in a little bit on how we need to look at the functional placement and to see the extent to which we can make good use of the roles as currently defined. Article 96 of the Constitution gives the Senate the responsibility to protect the interests of the counties, as has been mentioned by Hon. Kimunya. On social media, there was information that indicated that the County Assembly of Kisii seemed to have arrogated itself some role and was determined to come up with some legislation that would prevent the nominated female legislators from participating in legitimate roles. Instead, what they should be carrying out at the county assembly would be legislation, oversight and representation. I mentioned this because as I indicated, this was on social media. We are aware that the social media, in quite a number of times, seems to capture the temperature and mood of the country and calls for follow-up. The same seems to be there in Vihiga County The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
