    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank my colleagues for the good contributions. I assure them that this Committee will do its best to represent you in that Committee. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to address a few of the issues which have been raised. One is the issue of borrowing and conditional grants. Currently, there is no borrowing framework for counties, which is why the national Government is borrowing and at least sending conditional grants to the counties. The issue of audited reports is very serious. We are now using the 2013/2014 approved audits, which is very bad. I think our colleagues across the lower house must do their job properly because that mandate is theirs. In terms of implementation of budget, this Senate must wake up and see how best we can implement whatever we have been sending to the counties. We need to follow up to see how the money has been utilised. Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No. 55(3), I request that you defer the putting of the question to a later date because we have no quorum. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
