    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support because Nandi County will have around 19 areas. We will use the Equalization Fund to improve the lives of the people of Nandi. Let us not allow clawing back of resources. We may be at risk of going back to Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965. The architect of Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 was the Government. If the Government did not have ideas in 1963, what do you think they will have in 2021? Let us allow devolved units to function as per the law but we should work mutually and distinctly. As I conclude, I hope Cabinet Secretaries are aware that under Article 153 (3), they must appear before Parliament. When you do not appear, the President is obliged to fire you. So, I urge public servants who are supposed to appear, especially the Cabinet Secretary--- Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Kinyua raised a Statement on the issue in Laikipia. Up to now, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government or even the Principal Secretary (PS) have not found it wise to appear before the committee to tell us what is happening in Laikipia. I hope the reshuffle was not done to hoodwink Kenyans. If we want accountability, we must ensure that we respect the Constitution. I support."
