    "content": "On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.This is a very important matter and the fact that it has been raised before and not dealt with conclusively, raises a lot of concern. We acknowledge that the Committee is working and possibly, it is not a matter of indolence or that the Committee is unable to perform. However, on this issue, we need direction, this time, from the Chair as to how we will deal with this backlog of events. There is nothing more important for the Senate to play than its oversight role over counties. The oversight role that we play as expected by mwananchi out there is not out of subjective reasons that the governor did or did not do this yesterday. We play that oversight role based on the documents that come after the audits; the Auditor-General’s reports. On this issue, we urge you that from the Chair of the speaker, you shall give direction. If all Members of this House formed ourselves in an ad-hoc manner for two or three weeks on different counties, we will come up to date. Such that today, the senator for Siaya will deal with the current Governor for Siaya and the current issues affecting his county and we will be able to do that for all our counties. So, I urge for your indulgence. Please, deal with this issue. let us not just hear that there are strategies and ideas that we are coming up with; no. let there be clear direction on how to deal with this backlog on county audits."
