"content": "Something about assets out there was mentioned. We do not know who owns what. When the oversight committee is established in this House, we will be in a position to know who does what. Lawyers may suggest we go to court, but how many cases will be taken to court and on what basis are they going to be determined? I am not a Member of this Committee, but looking at things today and the frustrations some of us are facing, we need to have it. As Hon. Millie Odhiambo said, we are doing quite a bit out there in terms of oversight. Take the example of overseeing CDF projects. Look at what we have given the counties. As somebody said, it is just one way of making money. Look at some governors. Oh boy! I do not know where we are getting to. So, let this Committee be established so that it can deal with the issues that we have talked about. It will also serve as an interlink between the national Government and the county governments. That way, the two will work in a harmonious way. As it is today, we are just groping in the dark. We want to have things done properly. It does not really matter because, as somebody said, we could even have a referendum on the same. However, given what we have today, we can do it in this House and our brothers in the Senate could agree with us so that we can move forward. With those few remarks, I support this Report. I also urge Members to support it so that we can move forward. So much is expected of us and we should not run away from our responsibilities, duties and mandate as Members of the National Assembly."
