    "content": "The County Government of Murang‟a is yet to respond to the issues that I raised, which were purely objective. They were raised in the Auditor General‟s Report of the Financial Year 2015/2016. Those issues relate to- (1) When will the Murang‟a County Milk factory that is being constructed in Maragua be completed? (2) When shall the people of Murang‟a County, in particular, the milk farmers, start reaping the benefits of that factor, specifically, ensuring that they get Kshs40 per litre once they take their produce to that place? (3) There have been complaints by the landlords who have given out their premises to Murang‟a County Assembly for the establishment of milk coolers over unpaid rents running into millions of shillings. I will continue raising those and other issues. I, therefore, remind the people of Murang‟a County that when I became a Senator, I started raising issues concerning that milk plant. As a result, the county government started to reconstruct it. Therefore, it shows my interventions have been positive and helpful. Therefore, I ought to continue raising those issues, so that they are addressed. I believe that my oversight role has been positive and may cause the county government to complete projects, which are beneficial to the people of Murang‟a. Allow me to state that I will not reply to those personalized attacks by virtue of this House being a House of dignified Members. I am also reminded of one of my favourite musicians who said these words: “These little hands and the simple fingers that I have, they were not made to pinch nor tear, you hear, but to move in deeds of kindness, you see, and to fold in thoughts of prayer; to help my brother pray for the betterment of his life.” This song is called, „ I am a humble African.’ I thank you."
