    "content": "Wamalwa, the Committee on Implementation gave a very comprehensive report on how it has been tracking the resolutions of the House and the reports. However, I feel strongly that as a House, we have not put in place proper administrative mechanisms to ensure that whatever this House resolves is fully implemented. Other arms of the Government and Departments will start taking the House less seriously because we are not able to follow through adequately on issues, including the fact that when a Member brings up an issue, the Committee itself does not respond. We need to institute mechanisms to ensure that a resolution of this House, which is a representation of the sovereignty of the people, is not taken lightly by any Ministry, CS or other arm of the Government. That is how we should organise ourselves. Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you let this discussion go on, I am sure that all Hon. Members here have issues that they raised in this House, on which the House resolved upon or passed but which are not being implemented. The onus is on us to internally look at our own administrative mechanisms to ensure that any resolution passed by this House is taken seriously and implemented by the relevant arm of the Government."
