    "content": "(b) ensures that all public funded projects are branded as \"courtesy of taxpayers of kenya\"; (c) comes up with regulations or amendments to any law in existence to make sure that all county governments’ vehicles are branded with colours of our national flag to make them easily identifiable, and if the public see them being used for non- government activities, they can occupy them peacefully; and, (d) performs any other course that it deems fit in its own wisdom, on the subject matter. The Committee further resolved to invite the petitioner, Mr. Laban Omusundi, for further discussions on the issues raised. Upon invitation, the petitioner appeared before the Committee on 25th November, 2024, to present his petition. He emphasized that the primary objective is to protect public funds from being misused for the personalization and branding of public projects with individual names or identities. He appealed to the Senate to intervene and establish measures to curb such acts and to safeguard public resources. The Committee concurred with the Petitioner on the need to restrict the branding of public projects and Government vehicles with individual names and images, affirming that such practices amount to personalization of public resources and are contrary to principles of integrity as outlined in the Constitution and relevant laws. Mr. Speaker, Sir, based on the submissions received from the stakeholders, the Committee made various observations and recommendations as set out in the report."
