    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the word go, I go with the option of dropping the Bill. We will be wasting this House’s time because we will have to go through the First, Second and Third Readings. As it has been said by the Leader of the Minority Party, the same Bill is in the Senate. If the Private Member has issues with that Bill, he can still fill in at that particular time so that we only talk about his amendments or concerns as a stakeholder. This Bill specifically affects counties. Sometime back, we talked about why the Senate is meddling and engaging in things which do not concern them - things that concern the nation. When they get involved in things that are specific to the counties, we want to usurp their powers and do it for them. There should be no suppression of tasks or work. That means they want to do what we do and we want to do what they do. My advice is that we drop it. It is in the Senate. Let the concerned parties go there and propose amendments."
