"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Report. I want, first of all, to congratulate the team led by the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay because of the exemplary job that they have done of scrutinizing both the county governments and the county assemblies. The issue of pending bills is like a thorn in the flesh. The issue of pending bills has been a problem in most county governments and county assemblies. There was a time a popular Motion was brought here by one of our distinguished Senators, Sen. Ledama Olekina. The Motion highlighted how pending bills should be dealt with. We cannot be passing Motions here and other business on the Floor of this House, and they are not implemented. It seems that whatever we did with the issue of pending bills was not taken seriously, and nothing has been implemented. I call upon the relevant authorities to make sure that the Bills or the Motions that we passed here regarding pending bills that are becoming thorns in the flesh, be dealt with once and for all. I agree with the Chairperson of the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), who is requesting that he be given the authority or that this House allows him to summon county assemblies that are not adhering to the invitations that have been issued to them. It is against the law for any county government or county assembly to be summoned to appear before the County Public Accounts Committee or any other relevant committee in this House, and they fail to attend. I am of the opinion that very strict measures should be taken against all those county governments and county assemblies that sometimes do not attend to summons that have been issued to them to appear before this House that has been mandated by the Constitution to take care of the interests of counties and their governments. With those remarks, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support."

I also assure the House that, given the opportunity to follow up these matters, we shall do it in a manner that respects the authority and constitutional mandate of county assemblies. We know that they are distinct and that they are constitutional entities. When we are seeking accountability from the county assemblies, we will be very careful not to cross the lines and blur the independence of county assemblies vis-à-vis Parliament. I beg to reply. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.66(3) to request that putting of the question on this Motion be deferred until the conclusion of debate on other Motions on the Order Paper."
