    "content": "I listened to you very carefully. As the Senate Minority Deputy Leader said, the recommendations are very practical and are at the heart of our job here. When all is said and done, what we talk about in this Chamber, we should ensure two things; that counties are resourced and the resources that go there are used to benefit the people. If we do not achieve that, then we have no business being in town. I want to thank you Sen. M. Kajwang‟. I think the quality of the recommendations is very good. I noted so many of them and, therefore, Sen. M. Kajwang‟, you have done this House proud. Having said that, Hon. Senators, one sticky issue - even as the Chairman and many of those who spoke about this have accepted - is that, we are engaged or the Committee is engaged in a historical process. Therefore, the utility of these very powerful, useful and good reports may be overtaken by events because if we are still looking at 2013 and we are now approaching 2019, I find no other description rather than to say that the Committee is engaged in archaeology - excavation of historical facts. This is the work of paleontologists and, therefore, in short, Senators - this I say with a lot of conviction and I believe this conviction is shared by all of us - if we continue this way, whereby we are looking at six years back and tabling and discussing that as the basis of accountability for counties, there is no difference between that and discussing - if I may say - the business of county “X” when Vasco Da Gama was the governor."
