    "content": "who were involved in that particular matter be reprimanded or be disciplined and a report be submitted on 31st December 2015. I am sure what ran in the mind of the Committee at that stage was that these were matters which the county governments would probably rectify and provide reports within a very short time in 2015. We are now in 2018 and the Chairperson of CPAIC cannot tell us whether or not these requirements of the Committee – that the various reports, recoveries and disciplinary measures – were undertaken and a report submitted by 31st December 2015. It may very well been this has not been done, because it is normally stated that until the report is adopted, that it is enforceable, and it is not binding. Therefore, if we adopt the Report today, then the time starts to run. However, we are adopting this Report three years after the 31st December, 2015, deadline has passed. This Senate needs to address this particular issue. Madam Temporary Speaker, in my mind, when this Report is being discussed by this Senate, we ought to have received an updated administrative report on what happened on the recommendations. If a report was to be produced, has that been done? If money was meant to be recovered, has that happened? Some administrative report ought to have been attached to this Report to tell us all that. This is so that in future, we should be saying that we should not wait for the report to be tabled and adopted by the House before some of the recommendations which require deadlines have been met. Those recommendations which require deadlines should be acted upon within the deadline. In other words, Madam Temporary Speaker, in this particular case, the County of Homa Bay should not have said okay. Although you have said we produce this report by the 31st December 2015, we must wait until it is adopted by the House before we can act on it. There must be a procedure and I am urging that the current CPAIC comes up with some sort of administrative procedures or recommendations which require time limits. This is because you know very well that those particular time limits are time limits within the year---"
