Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join my colleagues in congratulating Sen. Kanainza. In fact, it is very sad to die while giving birth. I would like to request the Chairperson to clarify whether all the attendants – nurses and surgeons – are qualified and not just the anesthetist and the surgeon who did the operation.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank my colleagues for supporting this Bill. Indeed, this amendment Bill has generated a lot of interest. As you are aware, I moved this Bill last Wednesday and we started debating it. We continued yesterday and today, and I am now replying. I thank my colleagues again for supporting it. A university is a national institution. When we request for establishment of a university in each county, we also request that the university should reflect the face of Kenya.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance. From the outset, I would like to support the Bill. I also thank by brother, Sen. Sang, for bringing this very important Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, the principal objective of the Bill is to establish a legal framework that will see county assemblies being autonomous; in other words, to be independent.
