    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir; it is on the same. I want to buttress the point raised by my brother Sen. M. Kajwang’. That is a very important point. There is a lot of concern out there in our counties on oversight role on county governments. As much as we try to explain to the public that the primary oversight is done by the county assemblies and we only do secondary oversight, people want to see action. I reinforce the point that the Committee be put in place. The life of this Parliament is coming to an end very soon. Once we act on these reports by the Auditor General, there is lack of implementation. As he correctly observed, some of the reports are on governors who are outgoing. They have finished their two terms. Not only that, there are those who were in the last regime who did not make it for their second term, yet there were very strong implicating reports on those governors. There seems to be no action taken about misappropriation of funds in the counties. Even after the Committee looks at the reports and makes recommendation to Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), we have not seen any action. It brings me back to my point that we must bring back the Implementation Committee in the Senate to follow up and ensue that the reports that we make to EACC and other Government agencies are acted upon. People want to see action taken against governors who have misappropriated public funds. I reinforce the very important point by Sen. M. Kajwang’."
