    "content": "I am happy that Sen. Murkomen has arrived. The arguments of the people who are fighting Sen. Murkomen‟s view on the Health Bill are now coming to light. Mediation in Division of Revenue is as a legal process and it is part of the Constitution. The people who think that we have no role should understand that mediation should come where we disagree. Like the Committee of the Whole does, Sen. Ndwiga and others sat and agreed on the version that should go to the President. That is the sort of country that we want. The Senate should be given an opportunity to give its own comments on matters involving the country even if it is not on devolved functions. I am happy that this particular Committee struck a compromise. Sen. Ndwiga will be pleased to know that the original version of that Bill never got past the National Assembly. It is one of those Bills that ended up in the dustbin. The Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill is now becoming an Act of Parliament. That gives me some pride. By virtue of this Report, the Warehouse Receipts System Bill will also become an Act of Parliament. We will soon have two more. The Members of this Senate, who we proposed to sit on the Physical Planning Bill, should follow the example of Sen. Ndwiga and must sit in the meetings. If they cannot perform those duties, then they should not sit in the Mediation Committee because they will let us down. We all cannot sit in those Committees. They are only three Members and must sit with the chairpersons. Sen. Mwangi invited me to one of those Mediation Committees meetings on the Physical Planning Bill. However, the Members of the National Assembly were so shocked that we have amended the title of the Bill. They were shocked because they had not read the Constitution. Some of the things that Sen. Murkomen says are correct. These 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."
