    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to reply to this debate. Basically, on the issue of counties that have been presented before this Committee, they have all been mentioned in the Order Paper, Volumes (i), (ii) and (iii). They are in total about 15 counties. I may add at this stage that we have been able prosecute 45 counties. The remaining counties that we were not able to prosecute were because there was one or two projects that we needed to go and check. One of them is Kajiado County and another county. Madam Temporary Speaker, if we had time, we would have presented before this House extra 14 counties. Together with the 20 counties that have been prosecuted during the era of Sen. M. Kajwang‟ as the Chairperson, we would have then completed for the financial years 2013/2014, all through to 2017/2018, which is a total of five years consecutively. That puts us pretty to very updated CPAIC findings presented before this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, having said that, I thank everybody who has contributed to this debate, given the highlights that we brought out quite clearly during my presentation. I will start with Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko, who seconded the Motion, then Sen. M. Kajwang‟ who was briefly in this meeting. I thank many others who have spoken, Sen. Kang‟ata, Sen. Omogeni, Sen. Kibiru, Sen. Sakaja, Sen. Seneta and Sen. Shiyonga. You brought out some very salient features that have been captured in the HANSARD. We can work upon them. Finally, this particular report is over 2,100 pages. I recommend that Members should go back to it, see the highlights that we have developed that can guide them. They should particularly look at their respective counties and what has been recommended in each specific audit query. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
