    "content": "The heckling is happening in the country, but when it happens in the House, I get worried. You know he is my senior in the profession. We might talk to the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to reconsider some of these things. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot lie for political convenience and capital, that we have slashed monies to counties. I challenge the Senate. The Chairperson of Public Investments Committee and Special Funds (PICSF) and a Member of PIC are seated in front of me. I want to see the same energy you are using to demand resources to go to the counties, demand accountability. I know PICSF and CPAC are morticians. We only come in at the tail end. We are like morticians because we just do post-mortem reports. There is nothing much PICSF and CPAC can do. However, this report can be used to give direction on what can be done by the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. This Committee can assist us by demanding some of these issues. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally on the issue of issuing commercial and industrial towns, the county government and your Government should agree on how they can award municipal towns and centres. I challenge the great people of Kathwana and Tharaka Nithi through Sen. Gataya Mo Fire, businessmen and women in Nairobi who come from Tharaka Nithi, to go back and develop Kathwana. Charity begins at home. You start at Jerusalem. I know of big business people who come from Tharaka Nithi. Go back and invest at home. Those are things no one will tell you. We also challenge their neighbours like you, Sen. Kathuri Murungi, the Deputy Speaker, to build something in Kathwana. That is how they can develop. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the report says there are no houses to live in. I do not know where people live in Kathwana. I want to believe they live in houses. It is also the people of Kathwana and Tharaka Nithi to invest in Tharaka and specifically in Kathwana, so that, businesses can grow there."
