    "content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, the situation in Meru is still fluid. We have a lot of communication from various Members of the Assembly that they have been denied development by the County Government. We are obliged to visit Meru County, so that we can verify all these things. The Committee in future plans to- (a) Conduct a county visit to Meru to meet with the County Governor, Deputy Governor, and the Members of the County Assembly in an effort to foster a harmonious working relationship between the stakeholders to ensure the smooth running of county affairs. (b) Retreat with deputy governors of all 47 counties to deliberate on matters affecting the effective performance of their official duties in the Counties. (c) Look into the performance of counties on implementation of the Budget with a view to oversight the utilisation of the resources meant for Devolution. (d) Conduct a post-legislative scrutiny of the Urban Areas and Cities Act of 2011, with the objective of proposing amendments to the framework of the management and governance of cities and urban areas. (e) Look into the process of the dissolution of a County Government with a view to making proposals on the enhanced role of the Senate in the process. (f) Look into the current laws on the impeachment of a County Governor, including the proposed Impeachment Procedure Bill. Lastly, I wish to appreciate your office, the Office of the Clerk and the Senate leadership for the steadfast support that they have accorded this Committee. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
