Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, looking at the way we work through Committees, I am getting a little worried that the committees do not have the time and capacity to investigate these complaints fully. I appeal seriously that the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) does something quickly to facilitate capacity building particularly for staff serving in the committees. We should develop mechanisms to deal with some of these issues which are beginning to frustrate citizens in our counties. Further, Members of this House should be facilitated more often to visit counties on the basis that Senator No. 1, Sen. G.G. Kariuki, has just proposed. They should be facilitated to go out there, deal with the issues on the ground and then come back here and make recommendations quickly. I think that is the only way that we can go. If we do not build our own capacity, very soon we will not be able to do anything and people will start losing hope in this institution. I, therefore, feel that this is important and the Parliamentary Service Commission should be able to take this up. I support this Motion for Adjournment."
