    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I fully support this Motion because the Members proposed here will deliver the mandate of the SBC. Therefore, we should all support them because without the SBC, we cannot have our agenda processed for this Plenary. I also request that the Members in this Committee must understand that this is one of the most crucial committees that processes agenda and discusses the Calendar of this House. Therefore, they must put in extra effort to ensure that they do the right job. As Sen. Mungatana said, we have a number of pending issues that need to be dealt with. I hope that this will be the right committee to initiate the processes, which will lead us to resolving those outstanding issues. I also urge the SBC to prioritise the many reports generated by the oversight committees; the County Public Investment and Special Funds Committee (CPISFC) and County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC). So far, we have in excess of 100 reports. I was wondering how these many reports will be processed in this House. This is a very important issue because we have reports that touch on matters of accountability in our counties and action needs to be initiated as soon as possible. I, therefore, urge the SBC that we are approving today to ensure that those reports are brought before this Senate for debate and approval, so that actions can be taken by the relevant bodies such the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and others. That is very important because we exist here to protect devolution which will be protected through the reports that have been tabled by CPISFC and CPAC. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for those short words, I support the names proposed for this Committee."
