• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, my worry is not that the Bill will have a different appearance or purpose. It is that there is interference of the county governments by the national Government on matters of employment. There is no clear definition and boundary of who is supposed to take responsibility on employment and remuneration of workers at the county level, hence the cause of the crisis that we are seeing.

• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution is very explicit on the functions of the national and county governments. If the suggestion by Sen. Elachi has to hold any water, then she should be fighting for the amendment of the Constitution but not an amendment of clauses of legislation. We are legislating to put the law in line with the Constitution and it can only be done that way. view
