    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Now, the directive stands. Sen. Ndwiga, there is nothing to canvass. I will only amend the directive a bit in light of part of what Sen. Wetangula has said; to add that perhaps the enormity of the matter requires a little more time. I direct that you take a bit of time so that you deal with the matter exhaustively. It is my position that the relationship that exists between the Senate and county assemblies in terms of providing national frameworks for legislation must mean something. So, when a Message like this one comes, it must be dealt with in such a way that not only Nandi County benefits, but the entire country wherever tea is grown – I am sure there are many counties which have an interest – from Bomet to Kericho, Tharaka-Nithi, Meru and even Mombasa County. It even includes tea consuming and conveying areas like Mombasa County. Therefore, Sen. Wetangula, I appreciate what you have said, but it is also important to consider it under Article 191 on Conflict of Laws. It will be in the interest of the country for the Senate to make broad legislative frameworks that will cut across many counties. This is because even if Nandi County, for example - which I agree with you - provided for his kind of legislation, it will only apply to Nandi County. A proposal coming from this House would cut across the country and provide a remedy in a one-fit- all kind of situation."
