    "content": " Thank you, Chairman and all the Senators in the House for being in agreement that this is one of the most important statements sought by a Senator, especially with regard to our mandate as a Senate. We are also in agreement because everybody who spoke was in one accord, but the Statement sought was very specific and weighty from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. We are also in agreement that the answer that you attempted to give did not address the issues that were raised. Having agreed to that, therefore, and in view of the weighty matters that Senators want to be addressed, for example, specific issues as to how the bills were accumulated, why they took so long to repay and for how long they have been pending, all these matters I believe - I want to agree with the Chairman that he might not be in a position as a chairman of a single committee to provide all these comprehensive answers. I, therefore, want to go the way proposed by Kisumu County Senator and combine with the input of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and the Chairman; that we allow the Rules and Business Committee to either give this mandate to the two committees dealing with this so that they have a wider mandate; that they can seek answers from the counties themselves, budget offices and all other relevant offices so that the Senators can have a comprehensive answer. Otherwise, we all agree that it was just an attempt, but a good platform to give the Chairman an overview of all the details that the Senators want. We should get a way forward on Tuesday. That will be proper because we are dealing with matters to do with money and bills are being accrued every day. So, on Tuesday, the Speaker will give a comprehensive ruling on the way forward to this matter. Next order!"
