    "content": "are going to protect county assemblies or the Governors. We are protecting the institution that is known as the county government because we are the heart of these institutions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this process needs to be handled with a lot of care, especially considering that Kenya is an open society these days. If the Committee is not careful, it will find itself messed up by the press. But it is not the press which is going to start the process of messing them up; it is them failing to keep their mouths shut, especially after the deliberations of any Committee meeting. Things can really go wrong if other people start talking about this Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been saying that we have nominated Members of very high integrity to this Committee. I want to assure this House that any Member of the Senate is a person of high integrity; it is only that we could not all become Members of this Committee. Therefore, I appeal to those who are involved, through the Chair, that what is going to be presented on this Table in 10 days’ time must be a document that people will read and be satisfied that we really tried as a Committee of the Senate. I am not a Member of this Committee, for example; nobody will use me or any other Member who is not a Member of the Committee if the Committee will not report what we think is good for this nation. This must be understood from the beginning. Mr. Speaker, Sir, once again, thank you very much for allowing me to speak."
