Hon. Deputy Speaker, while two weeks is quite satisfactory, I want to make the House note that I initially submitted this request on 13th November, 2012. Therefore, with a lot of respect to the Committee, it would be expected The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

that they have already obtained and processed the necessary materials ready for submission to the House. Therefore, except for procedural purposes, given that they may not be physically present in the anticipated next two weeks, they should tell this House that they are ready to submit the Report. Otherwise, the Committee should account as to what they have been doing for the last four months, since I initially requested the Statement.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, on 13th November, last year. It was during the other Session. The Committee that is in place is the same Committee that was in place then.

For instance, Clause 4 of the County Governments Act, 2012 clearly states the duties of the county governments. Thisincludes the establishment or coming up with a flag, emblems and namesfor the county. This is the case and yet we have allowed the law to be broken and impunity to be perpetrated across the country. We are now coming here to move amendments to this law and the other law because of the failure to comply with the existing laws. The county governments have that responsibility. Having their flag should have been contemplated and seen because that law exists.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let us agree that although these mistakes exist, there are some very basic fallacies within this Bill. For instance, you say in one section that the County Women---
