    "content": "amendments. I want to assure the House, subject to direction from the Chair that we will deal with this matter expeditiously, so that this Bill can be processed for Presidential assent, and then it can go into operation as a law. This will ensure that our Kenyan citizens in our 47 counties can have an opportunity to be presenting their Petitions, and it will become easy for our county assemblies to function. This is one of the ways to strengthen and facilitate our county assemblies by ensuring that there are laid-down procedures, especially in terms of presenting and processing Petitions, and ensuring that the committees or even the 47 county assemblies are able to prosecute this matter. I hope that as a Committee, subject to your direction, we will be able to conclude these issues and report back to the House so that it can be processed and concluded. Finally, I want to call upon the National Assembly that whenever laws involving devolution go to them, they should expeditiously dispose of some of these things, so that we can continue strengthening devolution. This is because we have seen even in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) that Kenyans want devolution to be strengthened and become strong. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
