    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other issue that was raised relates to the workforce that they inherited from the defunct local government, which is similar to the issues raised by the Mombasa County government. The issues are similar in the County Assembly of Kilifi. This mirrors the issues that all the county assemblies in this country face. There are issues of remuneration, capacity and undertaking their oversight role within their county governments. Therefore, as a Committee or the two joint Committees of Devolved Government and Legal Affairs and Human Rights, we have various recommendations that we want to ask this House to adopt. One of the recommendations is that although the process of auditing assets and liabilities is ongoing, we need to fast-track it. The Auditor General needs to fast-track the process of auditing of assets and liabilities and the Senate has to play a key role in ensuring that at the time of distribution of assets between the national Government and county governments, we are able to have fairness, so that county governments can have adequate resources and assets to carry out their responsibilities."
