    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, permit me to read Article 6(2) of the Constitution, because many people treat county governments as if they are appendages of the national Government. I have read it over and over. It states that:- “The Governments at the national and county levels are distinct and inter- dependent and shall conduct their mutual relations on the basis of consultation and cooperation.” None shall look down upon any other level of Government and try to lecture it on how they will run their affairs. They must appreciate that they are all governed under the law. When it comes to the division of revenue, they all depend on Parliament to give them the resources they will expend for the people of Kenya. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the right position was said by one public officer, Mr. Nyamunga, and copied to this House. We will observe how the state will treat him. If they mistreat him for mentioning the right position of the Constitution, we will treat it as a gross violation of the Constitution. The consequences of gross violation of the Constitution will ensue."
