    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of the Committee, I commend my very able Vice-Chairman for he has moved it exceedingly well on behalf of all of us. From the outset, I appreciate the entire Committee, which also includes yourself, for putting in a lot of its valuable time and commitment into this inquiry, which took about five or six months. We all know that it was not an easy job. The terrain in a majority of these counties is just unimaginable. They demonstrated a lot of commitment and dedication. At some point, one of the Committee members, Hon. Ng’elechei, was in Turkana and went for three or four days without food and water. I remember her calling me saying that she had never imagined it was as hard as she witnessed. I appreciate every individual member of the Committee. The quorum was overwhelming. They showed dedication. The Secretariat gave their best throughout the inquiry. I appreciate the Clerk and the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Regional Commissioner and the respective county security teams of the six counties. Every time we visited the counties, the security teams were always available to us during public participation when we were listening to the communities. They gave whichever support we needed of them. I also appreciate the communities which were so welcoming, hospitable and cooperative to members of the Committee. I appreciate the non-State actors who were always available to give any support that was needed of them. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the inquiry took place in August 2023 and April 2024. A majority of the recommendations, either by individual counties or general recommendations, proposed creation of several administrative units to take services closer to the people. Much has already been done, and I appreciate the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
