    "content": " Hon. Silvanus Osoro, I agree with you entirely that you are not empowered under our current system and Constitution when it comes to issues of water. All I want you to do is proceed and give a definitive undertaking on the report and the issue of power outages in Mandera and many other places. We share your frustration. Even the Chair shares that with you. However, it is for you to go and change the law so that if the county government cannot perform in certain areas, then the national Government can step in and perform that function and deduct the costs from the allocations. There are ways we can do things. We cannot just stay helpless and say that the county governments are not doing anything. I think the National Assembly needs to be powerfully proactive for it to come up with definitive solutions to the problems that are there. Everybody shares with you the frustrations of the county governments. Actually, if there is going to be a referendum right now on whether the county governments should be maintained the way they are, majority of Kenyans are going to vote in a manner that will shock everybody. Proceed and give a definitive undertaking right now on how soon you can report back on that report and when you are going to engage the Kenya Power Company on the issue of power outages in Mandera and all the Muslim areas during this Ramadan period. Proceed, Hon. Osoro."
