    "content": "Fisheries Authority. I know that there is a livestock Bill that should again take seed livestock matters from AFA. If we were to go with the matrix that Sen. Mumma and Sen. Abass have presented to this House, this House will be busy, we will be dealing with the right things. We will ensure that when Sen. Chute is asking about boreholes in his county and pushing his governor to drill boreholes, knowing very well that money for boreholes has been sent to that county and it is not sitting in Maji House somewhere in Nairobi. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I fully support this. If you so wish, you should direct that those pieces of legislation that have been referred to committees must be prioritized. I do also hope that in that matrix, the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, the PFM regulations and the procurement laws have also been highlighted. In our experience in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), some of these laws were created when we did not understand the practicalities around devolution. Many a times some of the things we flag as non-compliance with the law are things that in real sense are impractical to do. I support this and if any matter is referred to my committee, it will be the most important business in my committee because this is the reason why the Senate exists. Thank you."
