    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this particular Motion. First, the Members nominated to this Committee are up to the task. I believe they will deliver on the mandates they are required to carry out in this Committee. For the purpose of continuity, it is important to retain the same Senators. Unfortunately, for the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee, as Senator Halima has raised, it is important if we could have one more lady to add to Sen. Wangari who is the only lady in the group. The County Public Accounts and Investments Committee has done a lot of work especially summoning the governors and relevant departments within the counties. Unfortunately, we do not know how far they have gone with the interrogation and investigation into misappropriations that have been done by those counties. If there is a way, it is very important for this Senate to know how far the committee has gone, what has been implemented and what is actually pending. Clearly, the Committee has done a lot. However, for the purpose of the public and the House, it is really important to know what the Committee has done and where we are in terms of ensuring that we have carried out our oversight role. The Standing Committee on Devolved Government has also done a lot of work especially at the devolved level. One of the things we discussed with Sen, Murkomen at some stage is to audit all the counties in terms of the work they have done. There are counties that have done so well especially in devolution. However, before we end our term, it is really important for this Committee to carry out an audit to establish how the counties have performed on devolved functions.
