    "content": "Informing who? You are a young man. You should just relax. You do not even seem to know what you are…. This is the problem. Read the Standing Orders so that you can understand when you can make interjections. It is an unfair situation which must not be allowed to continue. This House has a responsibility to ensure that the county governments get the fair share of revenues based on the latest audited accounts as approved by the National Assembly. That is the constitutional dictate. When you are dealing with those ones of 2014/2015 and then you want to table a Report mid- 2019, you are not serious. Everybody in this country is duty bound to defend and protect devolution. It is the primary responsibility of this House, through the Public Accounts Committee to ensure that that happens. So, those two Committees are put on notice – the Public Accounts Committee and the Public Investments Committee. Members of those Committees do not just start saying you want to rise on a point of information. I would have seen the Reports if there was any information. I am approving Reports every day. They are from various Departmental Committees and I must commend them. I have not seen any Report from PAC and PIC. Indeed, even the Budget and Appropriations Committee produces Reports. It is on the Order Paper. There is that form the Special Funds Account Committee which is the latest of our Committees. They have already tabled a Report that is being debated. The PAC is the oldest Committee known in any democracy yet it has no Report, 12 months down the road. What is the justification? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
