    "content": "“Every statutory instrument made after the commencement of this Act shall stand referred to the Committee or any other that may be established for the purpose of reviewing and scrutiny of statutory instruments.” This is key. They have also spoken about relevant considerations, and this is also guiding the county assemblies. Therefore, county assemblies must ensure that when they are scrutinising these statutory instruments, they must be keen. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I conclude, I remember that even in my own county, there is a time when the MCAs rejected passage of supplementary budget proposals. It subsequently became a huge confrontation between the county government and the county assembly because the former wanted the latter to rubberstamp its proposals. I hope that when it comes to statutory instruments that will involve county executives, they should not fear anything. Even Proverbs 28 says, “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” That is how I want to encourage our MCAs, because they are sometimes intimidated by governors until they cannot do anything. We, therefore, need to give them power."
