    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to profusely thank my colleagues who have supported this Motion. I feel privileged that this matter has been given the perspective that it required because earlier on when I came to move this Motion, I was feeling a bit hesitant because I am the Senator for Tharaka-Nithi and also the Senate Majority Leader. I thought that perhaps this should be seen as a national issue rather than a parochial issue because I come from Tharaka-Nithi. I want to agree and support what Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo has said that going forward, this should be the business of the Senate to try and improve facilities and infrastructure and support counties as a continuous process, depending on what our audits bring on board. I also want to support Sen. Obure. The two gentlemen were Minister and the Permanent Secretary and they did a good job for this country. It is very sad that some shortsighted person scuttled a process that would have saved this Senate the one hour that has been spent this afternoon trying to correct what should have been corrected much earlier through the foresight of two great Kenyans; Sen. Obure and Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo of West Pokot. I want to thank each one of them and also Sen. Wamatangi and Sen. Kivuti, my neighbour. I think they were doing their job as national leaders. I also want to thank Sen. Sang, Sen. G.G. Kariuki and Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki. With those remarks, I beg to reply."
