"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree that the question raised by my friend, the distinguished Senator of Vihiga County, is important. It is about the funds to the counties. It is a concern of every Senator. It is the reason why we are here. I took that matter seriously to the Cabinet Secretary. However, the question was asked on Tuesday. It was then processed on Wednesday and it is in the office of the Cabinet Secretary today. Therefore, if the Cabinet Secretary says that he is working on it, maybe the answer will be ready by tomorrow. It is important to that extent. This House works through its committees. The only reason why the Senate Majority Leader had to take this responsibility is because we are still on the issue of forming committees. We still do not have committees because our friends, like Sen. Wamatangi said, cannot even agree who can be the Senate Minority Leader. This is a serious issue. There is no leadership on the other side. Everyone is speaking for themselves. They wrote a letter to say that they will not participate in House affairs. The only Senators who participate here and we must give them credit are the distinguished Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and the Senator for Narok County. They are the only two active Senators in this House. The Senator for Turkana County also comes to listen here. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Nyamunga, the nominated Senator from Kisumu used to be active but somebody must have told her that she needs to go somewhere and she came back limping. That must be as a result of the activities that are happening out there."
