    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, I also rise to support what my colleagues Sen. Sang and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale have raised regarding the business of the House. I hope the Senate Business Committee (SBC) that directs business of this House is noting what is happening this afternoon in the House. That, at 4.00 p.m. we have no further business on the Order Paper. I am not saying that Senators have no role to play in this business because you can see the numbers in the House as well. It requires all of us, led by the SBC that schedules the business of the House to be serious about the business of the House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, whereas I commend the Chair of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) for having looked at the accounts of 2013/2014, I must say that is not good enough. These are issues to do with finances in the counties and this is one of the committees that must be ahead of time and should be concluding 2014/2015 accounts, so that we can hold accountable governors who have been exploiting and misusing funds for counties in good time. Currently, they must be all smiling with the loot that they have taken. They are now financing their campaigns and misleading the public using those funds yet they have not been called to account. The CPAIC needs to speed up reports and present them to this House so that we make our input. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you."
