    "content": "gone there. They were there for the rescue efforts, but that is not enough. When we devolve these functions, the idea is that on the ground the county government must be strong. In this instance, there was no report from them. Later we got a report from the County Executive Committee (CEC) Member of Agriculture. We were on the ground before the Agriculture CEC had visited and the residents kept saying that the CEC Agriculture came here and never came back gain. They were very angry because he came and took some statistics and was never to be seen again. Madam Temporary Speaker, we finally saw the report that refused to touch on any deaths or injured persons. It only dealt with livestock and a few items then gave a recommendation. I wish the Senators would look at that report. We, the Senators are the guardians of devolution. If this is the manner in which our county governments are going to conduct themselves with such pedestrian approach to issues, then we have a problem. The CEC was quick to write a recommendation for all environmental disasters that happened, give them seeds and fertiliser, yet there is no soil to plant on. It had been washed away. I urge Senators to look into these reports which are self-explanatory and telling on the areas that we have huge gaps in this country; in our counties. We must champion the change that this country needs. I thank my Committee Members for this effort and I look forward to having this House adopt this Report and recommendations."
