    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. From the outset, I state that it is regrettable that we are in this stalemate in terms of setting up this Committee. One of the greatest Committees in this House, especially in this period moving towards the elections is this Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments. We ask the team in this Committee that they need to take their mandate more seriously and ensure that they hold many governors and county governments accountable. You will notice that we want to congratulate this Committee. Initially, Members of the County Executive (CECs) and governors refused to appear in this Committee. It took the intervention of this House to go all the way to court to obtain orders favourable to the Committee.Now, it is a settled fact that this Committee can summon governors and anybody to appear before it. We ask them to take their responsibilities seriously 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."
