However, I can offer more because I am a medical doctor and I know there is the Committee on Health, Labour and Social Welfare in which I could offer input in some aspects of health. But I do appreciate that the Rules and Business Committee made that selection and probably there is a reason why they felt I should not serve in that capacity. However, if there is an opportunity to serve, I will make myself available. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, I want to support what Sen. Murungi said about the creation of an oversight committee at the county level. I was particularly worried this morning when I heard one of the Senators pointing out that the Treasury is actually going ahead to make amendments on what has been suggested by the Commissioner on Revenue Allocation and actually going ahead to send funds to the counties without reference to any of the other bodies, particularly the Senate. I think we need to have an oversight body at that level so as to curb this kind of rogue behavior by Treasury, which I think worries many Senators here, in that, they might not be able to comply with the suggestions we make here in the House. We should look at the possibility of establishing a committee of Senate at the county level to be able to counter some of those things. Otherwise, I wish to support the list."
