    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, you will appreciate that even in this Senate, we have debated a number of Motions, some of which are issues contained in this Report. We have recommendations here which have been debated and passed for action, but as far as I know, they have not been implemented. I am not aware of any Motion which has been implemented up to this day. Therefore, I want, through you, to raise this issue as a matter of concern for me as an individual and I am sure for a number of Senators here. We cannot afford a situation where we debate and pass Motions in this House but they are taken for granted. We want to see them implemented because there is no point in passing resolutions which are not implemented. Had they been implemented, the people out there in Kilifi and Mombasa would not be repeating the same complaints. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to point out that in this House, we discussed a Motion relating to the establishment of training centres in each county so that those centres can train employees and Members of the County Assembly to improve their quality and performance. We did this but I am sure nothing has been done about that Motion. I also remember that we passed a very important Motion and it was moved by the Chief Whip, Sen. Elachi; which had to do with establishing training institutions in each county along the model of the National Youth Service (NYS) so that we can provide opportunities for the large number of young people to acquire skills and be trained on the various aspects and, in so doing, prepare and equip them to earn a living. As important as it was, nothing has been done about it. Madam Temporary Speaker, we also discussed in this House about the urgent need to hand over the role of county roads to the county governments. Again, nothing has been done and it was a subject of discussion when the two committees visited Kilifi and Mombasa counties. There is need to address and implement Motions passed in this House in the spirit in which they are recommended. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
