    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, you will guide us on whether it is in order for the Senator of Nairobi to attempt to insinuate that those of us who have spoken fairly strongly against this process wanted a shutdown of counties. In my comments, all that we are saying is that we ought to have been given an opportunity to debate before voting. We are not saying that they should not have reported back to us. They are our agents; they have brought back a Report to this House. All those who spoke to that report are the same agents. Madam Temporary Speaker, we wanted the principals to talk to it, debate it, and then we vote. It must be clear to Sen. Sakaja that we are not saying that they should not have agreed. We just wanted an opportunity to debate on that agreement. Yesterday, this House adjourned at 5.30 p.m. Right now, the House is empty. There is nothing wrong with us to spend the afternoon and taxpayers money debating, before putting the matter to a vote. I just wanted to clarify so that Sen. Sakaja does not pursue the line that we felt that they should not have agreed. We agree with their position, we just feel that it should have been subjected to debate."
