"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will, but it is very boring. It is Standing Order No.105. That is fine since it is the law. Sen. Chimera should not mislead the House. He is making reference to lawyers not being allowed to offer services in counties. However, even the legal counsel employed by counties are lawyers. If he is making reference to outsourcing, then we can understand that. If he is talking about lawyers giving services to counties, that is gross misleading of the House and the nation."

I was drawing the attention of this House to a report that two committees looked into and tabled a report. That report was as a result of a Petition that was brought to this House seeking to ban law firms from offering services. That is in public records. That said and done, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this chance to urge our county governors to allow the Office of the County Attorney to be functional. Let us resource county attorneys."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, more often than not, you will find a whole county attorney attending fundraisers in the county or representing a governor in a political rally, yet we are here complaining that we are losing so much money by hiring external law firms when we have county attorneys. I humbly request governors to resource and build offices for county attorneys and make sure they serve as they are supposed to. I have tremendous respect for county attorneys. Some of them are known to me personally. I have been to the same class with them and we have argued matters together in court. Sometimes I am shocked to see them in fundraisers. I want to appeal to county governors, together with County Public Service Boards (CPSBs), to recruit competent lawyers to work as county attorneys. That is the only way we will have a chance to mitigate Statements such as the one sought by Sen. Cherarkey by allowing the office of the county attorney to flourish and work competently for the people of our counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I thank you."

Indeed, there are many Funds which have been established in the counties. My County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee has raised this concern. If you look at the reports that we have tabled in this House, we have clearly recommended that we need to amend the PFM Act, so that we limit the number of Funds in our counties to perhaps a maximum of three. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services, Senate."
