    "content": " I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support but before I do so, I also join my colleagues in wishing the Muslim community Eid Mubarak . Muslims usually join us when we observe Christmas, the birth of our saviour, Jesus Christ. Of course, we need to also join them when they are celebrating. I agree with my colleagues, the earlier speakers, who said that this Bill is long overdue. I thank the Mover, Hon. Duale, for fast-tracking this Bill. A wrong and a wrong do not make a right. You will realise that the Bills we refer to the Senate sometimes take too long to be concluded. At the end of the day, they are referred to mediation committees. It does not make sense. We need to fast-track the Bills that come from the Senate so that if we have to decide to go for mediation, it must be done at once so that we inform Kenyans which route we are taking. This is a very important Bill. The county attorney is a very important position. As I went through this Bill, I was wondering what was happening in the counties without county attorneys. From the swearing-in ceremony, it is the attorney who is supposed to oversee the exercise. We have just been relying on hired services from the judges that come from the respective counties. I think this has been the beginning of problems. You will realise that there is a lot that goes on in the counties in terms of agreements and contracts."
