Mr. Speaker, Sir, I now understand why this statement had to take over two months for us to get a response from the Minister.

The Chair has requested to be given more time to look for more answers.We hope as the Speakergives directions, the Chair of the Committee should not just come back with another lackluster Statement like we have received.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, may I take this opportunity to second this important Bill. This amendment was muted after the events that took place in Makueni County. This is a straight forward amendment that seeks to ensure that we have a complete process in handling the provisions of the County Governments Act with regard to the suspension of the counties.

Sen. (Dr.) Zani, you are completely out of order to bring your confusion into this House. The Bill by Sen. Wamatangi came a little earlier and we are done with it. We are now on Sen.
