    "content": "and Investment Committee will come for you. Sen. Ongoro says that she is even ready to go for somebody. We must tell public officers that the Senate is responsible and committed to ensuring that public resources are used in an effective manner. We appreciate the work that is being done by county governments; both the county executive and legislature. We are not going to abdicate our responsibility to protect devolution. Protecting devolution is not protecting the individual person of a Governor or Member of the County Assembly (MCA). It is a big responsibility that we must carry out meticulously. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for devolution to proceed well, we prefer proper movement of public information. The situation we are in with the three media houses not operating, for whatever reasons, should be resolved immediately, because there is a situation of partial darkness in digital migration regime. There is a digital darkness in this country at the moment. We want to ask that the players work together as a team and ensure that we resolve this situation, so that our people can follow proceedings as this, understand and appreciate what the Senate does. We can also ensure that there is a lot of transparency in whatever we do in our country. The media plays a role in ensuring that there is greater transparency and accountability from public officers. As I sit down, I want to say that this country has a great future, as long as we avoid matters of running all the time to our tribal cocoons. Whether we fly in the skies, walk on our feet or swim in Lake Victoria, we must be ready to defend the integrity of this nation and ensure that we bequeath the future generations a great Republic. I really feel for Makueni County, and the Duke, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. who is seated here. My friend, I would like to see that county move forward as well as Isiolo County and Narok County. We want to ensure that all these counties are capable of sitting together. A synopsis of the problem would be that as long as counties are not participatory in terms of running their affairs, we will have all sorts of conflicts. Even if there are teething problems, we must solve them now for posterity and the betterment of the Republic of Kenya. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all those remarks, I beg to move and invite my friend, Sen. Hassan Omar, the Senator for Mombasa county and the newly crowned Wiper Party Secretary-General to second."
