    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, finally, the Committee recommended to the county governments that they should construct county assembly chambers that are within certain limits. We have visited certain county assemblies as Members of this House and you will sympathise with our Members of County Assemblies (MCAs). If you go to some counties, the chambers do not even inspire the thoughts of leaders because they are squeezed in particular places. They also do not have services like what we have here and good microphones for them to articulate and share the issues of the people that they represent. They also do not have a good climate for them to sit and engage their constituents. Many of our MCAs do not have offices and they operate from the backseats of their vehicles where they attend to their constituents. Therefore, I do not think it is wrong and unjustifiable for us to give proposals because the SRC gave a blank cheque to everyone. We have different sizes of county assemblies’ chambers. For example, Nairobi City County has 85 wards and, therefore, the size of its chamber cannot be the same like that of Kericho County which has 30 wards. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
