Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to stand in the gap for my brother and neighbour, from Makueni County.

He will also encourage them to ensure they learn procedures of ensuring order in the Assembly when they go back. I am very sure under the guidance and tutelage of the office of the Serjeant-At- Arms, they will get good information and advice and go back home better. Mr. Speaker, Sir, just ...

governments. When you talk about counties, it is not just the boundaries. It is also the resources found in the counties. In the list that this Bill proposes for the County Benefit Sharing Committee, I see Sen. Mungatana has included the CECM for Finance and the CCEM responsible for matters relating to natural resources. He has also included technical people and five persons elected by the local community. It is my submission that the office of the county Senator should be represented in the members of the County Benefit Sharing Committee. You cannot leave out the office of the Senator ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. Cherarkey will definitely get some wisdom from us. I mentioned that Senators should be part of the county beneficiary committees. I would like to inform Sen. Cherarkey that in his moving notes, he may insist that the Senators be the chairpersons of the County Benefit Sharing Committees. I thank you.
