    "content": " Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my comments on the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.7 of 2017). This is a good move by the Senate in clearing the uncertainty that exists. With this Bill, it is clear that should anything happen where a county government is suspended, we have a law and rules on the ground to be followed by the authorities. This amendment Bill clears many doubts as to what would have taken place if there was to be a suspension of any county government. All the procedures have been laid out quite clearly in the amendment Bill and all we need is to ensure that the necessary authorities follow the rules to the letter. The major problems that we have in our county governments are related to corruption, particularly by the officers. This destroys the smooth running of county governments and creates conflicts. If county governments can listen to the cries of the people, corruption should be reduced so that we do not have conflicts between the MCAs and the executive. I add my voice in supporting this amendment Bill as it clears any doubts should any county government be suspended. Thank you."
