    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill that, if approved by this House, will provide guidelines on how such a process should be followed. I want to make it clear from the outset that I support this Bill because it is very important and it provides for the procedure of the disposal of a report of a commission of inquiry. It guides the termination or suspension of such a report. Previously, it was not quite clear. The people of Makueni were in suspense. They did not know what was to follow. However, with this Bill, every Kenyan will be aware that, if such a matter comes up, then those are the procedures that will be followed. Even for those people who think they can just wake up one morning and say they want to dissolve or suspend any county in this country, they will know that there is a procedure to follow before venturing into wishful thinking of dissolving a county government. This Bill will protect our counties. We have seen development in areas where it never existed. To ensure that devolution works, such Bills should be approved. I support this Bill."
