    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order Nos. 177(3) and 179(1), the Senate approves the following Senators nominated by the Rules and Business Committee, to be members of the Sessional Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments - 1. Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’ Nyong'o 2. Sen. George Khaniri 3. Sen. Henry Ole Ndiema 4. Sen. Kennedy Okong’o Mong’are Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the last few weeks, there have been some developments in relation to the Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments (CPAIC), a very critical Committee in this House; not that other committees are not critical but given that our principal function as the institution that oversights the use of public funds within county governments, then this Committee becomes so critical. It helps this House to do that oversight. I do not want to belabour the developments because that is now history behind us. There were small political issues and they have been addressed. We have had to engage with my brother, the Senate Minority Leader, on how to proceed. Therefore, we have these four names because – if Members may want to know – of what had happened, some of the colleagues resigned from the Committee because of the disagreement, but now they have accepted to serve once more. I appeal for compromise because this list is a result of political compromise that has been done on both sides. I can point out just one The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
