Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not certain whether the Chairman heard my question correctly. The regulations or whatever memorandum that qualifies Article 37 needs to be made public. Article 37 does not say that you require time to picket or present a petition. It does not require notice or notification. Under what basis did the police demand for those things? They need to be made public. That is what I requested. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also support the Motion. If the Chair recalls, it is this Bill that opened the Pandora’s Box after we raised hue and cry about its passing in the National Assembly without referring it to this House. The National Assembly reluctantly sent it to us. Through the Chair’s efforts, we now have the mediated version of the Bill. I read a report suggesting that the Senate was delaying the Bill. I am happy that the Rules and Business Committee (RBC) has found it fit to have it expedited. I wish we could vote before we ...

.: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to contribute to this Bill. First, before I begin, I would like to thank Sen. Murkomen for thinking it wise to have this Bill on the Order Paper. The drafters of the Constitution made assumptions in many respects and assumed many things. That is why in Article 110(3), there is assumption that the Speakers of the two Houses would agree on the Bills. There is also an assumption that the deputy governors and the governors would not be from different coalitions and would, therefore, be able to agree. However, the case in Machakos ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes. We want Sen. Hassan, when he becomes the governor to understand that the person who is nominated to be a deputy governor, upon election, such a person is not an appointee of the governor but elected in equal measure like the governor. I support.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to welcome the school from Kitui County on behalf of my Chairman, Sen. Musila. Unfortunately, the school is not in the Gallery. So, this is the first time that we are going to acknowledge people who are not here.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Rongai there is portion of land that is very controversial. It was supposedly purchased by the Government to resettle the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs.) However, only a few people were settled on that land. This issue has been very controversial for the people who have farms around the area, because the IDPs are cultivating other people’s land. How much land did the Government buy, if at all? How many people were supposed to be settled and are currently on that piece of land next to Gicheha Farm in Rongai?

.: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, the Mover of this Bill, Sen. Sang, hardly surprises me because he is very hardworking. This is an important Bill in terms of the work of county governments. This Senate has come up with innovative Bills to strengthen the work of county governments. Unfortunately, only two amendment Bills have been signed into law. As I make my contribution, I hope this will not end up in the litany of Bills which Senators have put in so much work, yet somebody somewhere down the line does not wish to concur, thinks it is not important ...
