• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to the Office of the County Printer Bill. This is an important Bill because of the delays that occur at the Government Printer. You know that all the Bills that are processed through county assemblies are supposed to be published. However, it takes a very long time before they are published.

The answer they gave me was that they were unable to process the Bills because they are not published at the Government Printer. This is a panacea to this problem because then that queuing at the Government Printer will be lessened. view
