    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity. Hon. Speaker, you earlier said that the National Assembly discusses matters that are of concern to the people. There is a matter that is of great concern to the people where I come from. He is asking me where I come from. I come from Suna East. Issues concerning county assemblies, as much as they are not within the National Assembly, are of concern nationally. County assemblies are fighting all over the country and the law is very clear and, as lawyers say, we never achieve that clarity. The law is clear that the Senate takes care of the interests of the counties. What is the point of having the Senate if it cannot bring sanity to the county assemblies? The county assemblies in Homa Bay, Kisumu, Machakos, Nyandarua, Wajir and Nairobi are fighting. There is a big problem in the country and we cannot just keep quiet and watch members of the county assemblies tarnishing their image. Some of the county assemblies are domiciled in our constituencies, like the County Assembly of Migori is in my constituency. So, when you hear gunshots in that area, you even fear for the people you represent. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
