    "content": ".: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it states that:- “This is a very broad definition which creates room for the Senate to participate in the passing of Bills in the exclusive function area of national Government for as long it can be shown that the Bills have provisions affecting the functional areas of county governments. For instance, it may be argued that although security and policing are national functions, how security and policing services are provided affects how county governments discharge their agricultural functions, as such, a Bill on security and policing would be a Bill concerning counties. With a good Speaker, the Senate should be able to find something that affects the functions of counties in almost every Bill that comes to Parliament, making it a Bill that must be considered and passed by both Houses” I do not need to add anything to that statement. I agree with it in total. Therefore, you will only be reiterating what the Supreme Court said in this ruling. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am concerned that somebody in this country can dare say that cybercrime is not a matter concerning counties. I do not understand how the cybercrime law, which I sponsored in the last Senate, can be passed by one House and become an Act of Parliament and somebody says it does not concern counties when there is cybercrime everywhere in this country."
