(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill and thank Sen. Sang for introducing it. Listening to the debate and public discourse that is going on out there about this Motion, I think that a lot of time has been wasted in discussing the side issues, as opposed to the core object and purpose of this Bill.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have learned; and once I sit there, I will be asking him which school he went to so that I follow the procedure. First of all, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate you and the leadership of this House for taking a bold step. I remember that when the Division of Revenue Bill was signed against our will, at that point in time there were many measures that we put in place. But I think the most brilliant decision we made was to go for the advisory opinion. The magnanimity with which you conducted yourself ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. Zipporah Kittony to insinuate that we need another induction? Maybe Sen. Omondi and Sen.

I guess such a matter would possibly be in a different Committee, but because we cannot now get exactly which Committee that is, I will The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to start by thanking Sen. Sang for being creative, taking up his legislative duties very well and ensuring that he comes to this House with a wonderful Bill which, in my own summary, will bring leaders together for development in the counties; for uniform and collective vision of the counties.
