"content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I have looked at this Report and it is true. The observation is very right, but the recommendations are wrong. It is like saying Sen. Kinyua has teeth and a cow has teeth. That observation is very true. However, concluding that Sen. Kinyua is a cow is wrong. It is exactly what they have done. If you look at what they are recommending, they say that all the recommendations should be taken back to the Ministry. So, there was no need for this complainant to come to the Senate in the first place. I have interacted with Mr. Gashushwa David Muriithi. He is a graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree from Egerton University. From our investigations, they said this person did not exist. With a lot of respect to the Chairperson of the Committee who has been sitting in many committees and doing a good job, on this one, I feel they need to bring this Report back to this House so that it can be investigated again. Look at what they are saying, that they are giving the Ministry three months so that they can go back and check the milestones in terms of implementing what they have recommended. Madam Deputy Speaker, it is this House that is supposed to make sure many of these recommendations are implemented. They even say that the Senate has no capacity to micromanage the institution. We are not doing that. We are doing our oversight duties. That is why many Senators who sit in that Committee disagree with this Report."
