    "content": "mediated DORB which came before this House. I am happy that, indeed, mediation is finding its way. In international law and obligations, and in all the United Nations (UN) organisations where resolutions are passed or put before the Floor of the General Assembly of any gathering or organisation, when there is a sticky point coming out where nations may not agree, but it is always referred to Mediation. Mediation has, therefore, become a tool of resolving issues that are hindering the progress of any subject. In this matter, it is the Irrigation Bill, which was successfully mediated on by my very good colleague and friend, Sen. Ndwiga from Embu County. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the moral we are learning here is that if the two Houses are able to agree on a piece of legislation, it makes it important because we are serving the same people. We are serving the same people. Counties are divided into wards; wards have legislators who are the Members of the County Assemblies (MCA). The Senate looks at the interest of the counties and also the type of legislation that will help them to carry out their responsibilities. Any legislation will always inevitably be accompanied with resources required to implement that Bill. I want through this successful story to appeal to the other House to comeback together quickly and resolve the issue of the Division of Revenue Bill 2019 which got stuck in the last mediation process. Today, as we stand, the resource flow to the county governments is not coming forth. I commend this process. It is the way to go because it is not always that we are going to agree on some issues. I am sure we can find a common ground on how to proceed and make this nation prosper. I congratulate the two teams that mediated successfully on this matter."
