Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In fact, I was to be the first one to resume this debate; I had a balance of six minutes. But I also rise on a point of order under Standing Order No.97 – that this Debate be now adjourned – for the following reasons. I think many of us travel to Mombasa at this point in time. There are those who have to leave from about 5.30 p.m. and subsequent times. There is also the trip to Diani, where you have to cross the ferry which makes it quite lengthy. I do know quite ...

Asante sana, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Kama vile wenzangu walioongea mbele yangu walivyofanya, mimi pia naunga mkono Hoja hii. Bw. Spika wa Muda, nakubaliana na Seneta wa Laikipia, Bw. G.G Kariuki, kwamba vile tunazihimiza serikali za kaunti zifadhili au zilete hali hii ya maendeleo kwa kuwapa uwezo wabunge katika bunge za Kaunti kuweza kutekeleza majukumu yao, huu kwa ukweli ni ushauri.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the responsibility of this Senate to facilitate county governments in the execution of their mandate. With that specific caveat that my colleagues before me have mentioned, we are left with little choice but to ensure that the County Allocation of Revenue Bill is passed by this House.

The reason countries in the west are able to transit from one Prime Minister to another or from one President to another smoothly is because there are systems in place.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must ensure that whichever institution that has a commercial implication to a county, that is the citadel of the economic prowess of that area, it must also bear the face of that area in many material forms. You cannot tell us that there are no receptionists or tea girls in Mombasa County and that certain jobs need expatriates from upcountry communities! We have expatriate tea girls, gate keepers, receptionists and telephone operators in public institutions in Mombasa County. For heaven’s sake, even if you look at us as people who have waited for too long ...
