    "content": "Maybe, on a point of order; if you notice, this Motion on the Standing Committee of Health on the special audit report on the utilization of COVID-19 funds by 28 county governments is very critical. If you notice, this order has been on this Order Paper and several Order Papers in subsequent days and the Committee or the chairperson is not giving us a way forward. It is almost two years now since the first outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in the country and it would be important that we know. The Auditor-General has already submitted the audit reports and I think my colleagues have picked copies. Personally, I picked a copy from the Auditor-General. Therefore, it is important so that we know how our counties utilized these funds. I would request that using your powers or Standing Order No.1, you should order that the Chairperson or any Member of the Committee on Health should appear before the House. Some of us have been coming to the House on several occasions trying to follow this Motion and be able to listen and understand whether our counties did utilize the COVID-19 funds. Madam Temporary Speaker, you can either give an order for the chairperson or the Committee to appear; or give direction that will ensure the Committee can start the process so that as Members we can participate. I thank you."
