    "content": " Order, hon. Members! I will now put the question but would like to remind you that this is a Motion affecting counties since we carried the amendment. The Motion we will be voting on reads as follows. THAT, aware that the State and other Government agencies have been the biggest impediment to payment of dues to Kenyans, including retirement benefits, court awards and insurance claims; recognizing that such delays amount to violation of human rights and undue punishment; noting that claimants spend a lot of money and time travelling to Nairobi and other far off destinations pursuing the claims; acknowledging that the purpose of devolution is to take services closer to the people; the Senate hereby establishes a Select Committee which will work on a Bill to establish a one-stop public compensation bureau in all counties to process all outstanding claims and ensure that claimants are paid within three months of retiring. The Committee should report to the Senate within three months. The Members of the Select Committee are:- 1. Sen. Chris Obure 2. Sen. (Dr.) Agnes Zani 3. Sen. Kimani Wamatangi 4. Sen. Fatuma Dullo 5. Sen. Otieno Kajwang 6. Sen. Abdirahman Hassan Ali 7. Sen. Stephen Sang 8. Sen. Beatrice Elachi 9. Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o 10. Sen. G. G. Kariuki 11. Sen. David Musila Sen. Amos Wako; and, Sen. Naisula Lesuuda. We will now go to roll call voting. I now order that the Division Bell be rung."
