    "content": "We hardly have ever seen any legislation or opinion on legislation from the Pan- African Parliament, particularly on matters that concern our continent, namely, environment, resource exploitation on foreigners and above all, the growth of Democracy on our continent to remove the vestiges of coup de’tat s’ like what we saw the other day in Mali. As we welcome you from the Pan-African Parliament, we encourage you to be reformist and dynamic in the change that Africa needs, so that the Pan-African Parliament becomes a truly Pan African Parliament with the capacity to legislate and whose legislation will be respected by member countries. I encourage the Kisumu Delegation to be the primary oversight team in their county. As a primary oversight team, as has happened in many counties, many of the Members County Assemblies (MCAs) in this critical committees quite often get hijacked and domesticated by Governors to the level where they are unable to properly oversight. If you are sitting with your counterpart team in the Senate, you will see that we act firmly without fear, favour or prejudice in looking at what counties do. Lastly, I encourage counties, when they are recruiting members of such staff, particularly in cosmopolitan areas, to ensure and remember that 30 per cent of employees of every county should not be from the county itself, but from other parts of Kenya in order to build a united, unitary and strong Republic of Kenya with two levels of Government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you."
