    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this petition and to hail the two patriotic Kenyans from Nyamira for their vigilance. For devolution to succeed, residents must also take interest and remain very vigilant on what is happening in their counties and, when there are issues like this, it is important that they flag them out like they have. I want to disagree with Sen. Karaba and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. You have answered Sen. Karaba correctly; that this is a specific Petition by Kenyans and under the law they have a right to petition any of the two Houses and therefore we cannot dilute their petition. However, I want to inform Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that this petition will eventually be assigned to a Standing Committee of this House as per our rules. The Committee he sits in; the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee, is a Sessional one. It is important that this Petition is dealt with because there are specific issues that have been raised. Even if the Auditor General flagged out these issues in his audit, these are two different committees. The Standing Committee on Finance and Budget which I believe will be seized of this matter should be able to liaise with the other Sessional Committee to get answers so that we can get a report. Although the Standing Order says 60 days, I am sure they can bring a report in a much shorter period. I insist that it has to be assigned to the relevant Standing Committee I support."
