"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of taking the report to the Senate is also very important because the Senate, in the structure of our Constitution, is the guarantor or protector of county governments at the national level. Most of the laws that the Senate would be making are laws that are intended to make the county governments work better, get more resources and function better. So, the Senate needs to be informed of what is happening so that when they are doing their budgets for the counties or legislation for the counties, they are able to know what is happening. That is why these reports are critical and important for the Senate to know. This is also important to prevent national governments from undermining the county governments. You may make decisions there but the Cabinet Secretaries do not want to implement them. So, who would make noise and make sure that those decisions made in the Senate, which is the protector of county government is not informed of what is happening? So, it is critically important that the Senate gets those reports and gets to know what is happening."
