    "content": "look at the question of living within our means in terms of borrowing by the national and county governments. The petitioner is fed up with the manner in which we are dealing with so much debt at both levels of government. Therefore, the Committee, when looking at his suggestion, must not focus so much on the argument that he is saying that we use the Islamic banking system but more of whether we can we get mechanisms that will be put in place to ensure that borrowing is regulated to the extent that we can live within our means for the protection of future generations. The ECD issue is an important factor. As the Committee looks at it, they must also look at the decision by the TSC that county governments cannot employ ECD teachers. Has that hampered provision of education services to our children? Again, looking at the infrastructure of that particular county, they must look at it from a perspective that it has only been three years of devolved governments. The objective should not be to punish county government, but rather to see how they have been handling that challenge. I know a few counties, including mine, that have built a few ECD classes. However, going forward when they will be investigating this mater, they must look at it from a perspective of the challenges that the county governments are facing, including Laikipia County for that matter. Finally, the number of petitions coming to this House is the faith that the nation has in you as the Speaker of this House and the institution of Senate as a whole. Therefore, as our Committee look into these issues, they must keep that confidence levels high because Kenyans have faith in us."
