    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am making reference to the Districts and Provinces (Amendment) Act. The memorandum to this Bill states that the Bills which are contained in this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bill do not affect the counties but when you read through the parent Act of the Districts and Provinces Act, you realise that the provisions of that Act refer to the counties that we have because it talks about Kenya being divided into 47 districts, Nairobi and other 46 districts. We are aware that this country is in the devolution arrangement where we have 47 counties and not districts. So there is some ambiguity in the original Act that we are trying to amend here. Even the amendments are suggesting that they want to come up with a Cabinet Secretary responsible for making regulations."
