    "content": "Bomet counties. These two are very important and emotive. It has not only affected the people living and working within the estates but beyond. As to the recommendations that the Committee will give following their additional assignment which I have also conversantly been informed by the Chairperson that they will do; is a time bomb. We would rather as a committee push ourselves to make sure we deal with it in good time. I also raise a concern that Sen. Wambua has also raised in terms of the implementation of a number of these recommendations. It is time this House considers putting in place an Implementation Committee. Instead of the chairperson of a relevant Committee being put under scrutiny for purposes of following up, could we also look at it so that we have a specifically mandated Committee to follow on implementation? Sen. Mungatana has presented a Bill that has already gone through Second Reading. Besides the Cabinet Secretary appearing to answer the questions, under the Powers and Privileges Act, we can summon the authorized personnel of various Government agencies to ensure that the recommendations of all the Committees of the House are implemented so that this House does not become a talk show or a Committee Session that does its work for the sake of it without follow up for implementation. It is time that we look at this and see a way forward. Meanwhile, as Chairpersons of Committees, we should follow up on implementation, so that we fill the work of the Committee or the House, and also make sure that the recommendations made are also implemented or enforced at various levels where applicable. I thank you."
