    "content": "I do not want my distinguished friend from Meru to adopt this apologist approach; begging for co-operation. Audit is not about co-operation. It is a constitutional duty. When you call a governor to come before you and he declines, you exercise the power of the High Court in summoning such a governor with consequences of a penal nature if he does not show up. So, we do not need any of these Senators to beg their governors, “please go and appear before the Committee.” It is their duty. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House, under Article 96(1), our cardinal duty is to protect the interests of counties and their governments, including but not limited to how the resources sent to or raised in the counties are spent for the furtherance of the good lives of Kenyans. So, I support Sen. Sakaja fully. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I suggest that you direct the Committee, that, within the next two or three days, let them bring an entire catalogue of the levels of audits on each county so that each Senator, for example, the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet or Nyeri can know if we are only on 2013/2014, where are the rest and when are they going to be reached, other than saying, we appeal to you, please co-operate; ask him to come, which does not help."
