    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. Standing Order No. 228 illustrates the importance of these committees in oversighting the executive expenditure of taxpayers’ money. Baringo, Turkana and other counties with insecurity and drought. These committees will play a critical role in sensitizing the Government to respond to situations that are affecting us. Committees are important because it is the only way that this House will function and address the needs of our people. Today, two Members of this House, that is Sen. Wambua and Sen. Kavindu Muthama raised four Statements to various Committees. These are issues which we need to address as soon as possible. I support that we need to pass this Motion. The Senator from Kisii talked about the unfairness that is being practiced on the other side. Although I do not want to be part of that war, I want this country to know that fairness begins from the top leadership. Sen. Omogeni praised the Senate Majority Leader for the fairness on this side of the coalition. However, I would like to tell the country that this is the spirit of our leader in the Kenya Kwanza coalition, that there should be fairness. He has come out clearly that when are sharing these positions, the face of Kenya and regional balance should be considered. This is exactly what you see here. The problem on the other side is not the problem of these Senators but the leadership in that area."
