    "content": "reports have been published in sections of the media before they were tabled in the House. Such actions will be inimical to our Standing Orders fundamentals, that reports be tabled. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has also been observed that some of the distinguished members of the House have been discussing these reports with the media and in public rallies before they are laid in the House. This has been construed in some quarters to suggest that the reports were being leaked deliberately to malign the county leadership, which is not the case. In order to avoid this perception and protect the interests of the counties, our committee appeals to all Senators to refrain from taking the debate on the counties outside the House before the same report has been tabled. Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, while every Senator has the mandate to speak for and on behalf of his or her county on any matter, we request that our public discourse on the reports of the Controller of Budget and the Auditor-General be contextualized on the specific issues raised in the reports to avoid blanket accusations of financial impropriety premised on the reports which will not serve the interests of the counties that we are mandated to pursue and may be perceived as an unwarranted attack on the leadership of the counties. Thank you."
