    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I want to take this opportunity to wish the Muslims countrywide and more so in my constituency of Emuhaya, and with your indulgence and on your behalf, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Muslims in Luanda, a good Eid Mubarak . They are our people; they have always stood with us when we are enjoying our Christian holidays and we want to wish them well tomorrow. I want to support this Bill, it is a well thought-out and as many other speakers have said, it should have come earlier, possibly at the time when the county governments were created. Possibly, this was one of the many missing links in the county governments because without a properly constituted Office of the Attorney General, Solicitor General and even the lead counsel, it was very difficult for these county assemblies to operate. This Bill puts all these offices in place and tries to explain how they will discharge their duties. This is very important because for the first time, the county governments will have attorney generals who are very independent. Like in the national Government, once the Office of the Attorney General is not independent, it cannot be respected and can be whipped by the Executive. In this case, as we have seen in county governments, the governors have actually held the so-called attorney generals in a way that they actually manage or mismanage them. So, this is very good. This Bill goes further to give the framework, tenure and qualifications. Clause 4 provides that this office will be present in all counties and this is very good because it becomes now a requirement by every county to have this office to advise them. In Clause 5, this Bill talks about"
