• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this Bill. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: I support the Creation of the County Printer Bill, 2021. Our responsibilities as Members of this House is always to support devolution. Part of supporting devolution is supporting services that are taken closer to our people. I have seen right from the onset the definition of the terms that will help any person coming across it to understand the contextual meaning of some words that could easily be confused if such contextual definition was not provided. We can understand some terms that will make an eye opener to anyone who wants to clearly understand this Bill. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: I have gone through it, especially right from the objects of the Bill. It is intended to provide effective services to the 47 counties. I support what Sen. Wetangula said that it could further be redefined as maybe gazette for a county like Bomet or Busia chapter because it will also provide a linkage with the Government Printer. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Part II, I have seen the functions of the office of the county printer clearly stated. I am also very happy that the qualifications of the office holder are specified well. This will help when sourcing a person who will competently run such a very important office. This is a very important Bill that will help our counties. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: I want to also say that regulations should be effectively put in place so clearly so that this very important office may not be abused just as Sen. Wetangula has said what is happening with the Government Printers. This is an important Bill that all of us should support. It is part of taking the services closer to our people. view

This will help to speed up the process because we know very well that whenever some important information needs to be printed by the Government Printer, some sometimes it takes a lot of time. Some information which has got some intentions from some quarters takes shorter time. That is why regulations should be important to provide uniformity when it comes to printing matters. view
