    "content": "It is time we started giving ourselves, as Parliament, timelines. If the Office of the Controller of Budget gives us a report within 30 days of the first quarter, we must debate the same report before they give a report in the next quarter, so that we do not have reports piling up without being debated. I hope the Committee on Budget and Appropriations and the Office of the Controller of Budget will ensure that Parliament apportions them enough money. So that these reports are publicised in a manner that reaches all Kenyans and in languages that Kenyans understand. There is a feeling among Kenyans that the only people who should be asked questions about public money and how things work in the country is the President and Members of Parliament. I have to answer questions about water, health and agriculture in my constituency because Kenyans still do not know which roles are devolved and which ones are not. They do not know which roles are played by the governor, Senator or members of county assemblies (MCAs)."
