    "content": "I want to also ask particularly the Members of those six counties to not only participate in demonstrations, which I know many of them are busy with, but to take time… I see one of them has just walked in, and I understand. I understand them because they are only in “ maandamano” in quotes, because I have seen many of them hovering around Parliament, but they are afraid to appear on the Floor of the House because they will be reprimanded for not having gone to the streets. I encourage them to be strong leaders. If you do not believe in chaos and anarchy, please be gentlemen like Hon. Mulyungi, who has taken time to be here to move this Report because that is what the people in Mwingi elected him to come and do in this House. Members who sit in the Committee on Decentralised Funds Accounts have entrusted him with its leadership. I thank Hon. Mulyungi. I was trying to trace who the Vice-Chairperson of this Committee is. It is Hon. Gertrude Mbeyu who, again, is from Kilifi County, but is not even in the House. Those are the kind of chairpersons and vice-chairpersons that we were talking about earlier. I do not want to encourage Members to do what they ought to do with chairpersons and vice-chairpersons who are not available either in their committees or in the House. But it is within our rights, as MPs, to ensure that there is proper oversight of chairpersons and vice-chairpersons in our committees."
