    "content": "Lastly, we have had wars with the Senate on Bills arising from this House through our able Leader of the Majority Party which go straight to the President for assent. I would like to advice the Senate to concentrate on matters related to devolved function. There is nowhere Senators come in on matters of national function. We have given them an opportunity like the mediation of the Physical Planning Bill because it affects both the national Government and county governments. On matters concerning national security and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government why should CS Matiang’i report to the Senate? What business is he doing with the Senate? Why should CSs of the national Government in-charge of functions not affecting the county governments be busy in meetings with the Senators? They should report direct to the National Assembly alone. Let the Senators deal with Governors and County Executive Committees (CECs). If Senators do not have a job, let them go home. This is because county governors are oversighted by county assemblies and the national Government is oversighted by the National Assembly. So, we do not want small conflicts but we have given them opportunity through mediation of the Physical Planning Bill which is important because it covers a devolved section of surveying and physical planning. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity."
