    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise in support of the Motion. I want to congratulate the men and women appointed to serve on this Committee. I would like to remind them to strictly stick to the mandate given to them by the Act, and to note that although the Executive has largely been appointing people through cronyism rather than merit, whatever method has enabled these distinguished Kenyans to merit these appoitnments, once they are appointed they do not serve whatever godfathers they may have. They are requried to serve the country. Their work is not to sabotage the incoming county governments, but to facilitate a smooth handover of the functions and assets to the county governments. It is also to facilitate, helping to configure the budgets of the incoming county governments. It is sad that we are appointing these men and women after the Budget for the next finanncial year has already advanced. Therefore, they may not be able to make any meangful contribution. Theirs will just be to observe and I would urge them if it is insisted that the elections are held in March, contrary to what the Constitution says that"
