"content": "not feel their impact at the county level, they could deal with issues of animal husbandry or noise pollution. These are not fickle things. If you look at the County of Nairobi, you will find that Kenyans are not able to sleep at night because there is a bar at every corner, a bar next to every school and, booming music up to three or four in the morning. We have never heard the Senate addressing these issues. What happened to the regulations and legislation that said you cannot have a bar within a given number of kilometres from a school? We have never seen them addressing issues like that. More shockingly, recently while driving in a residential area where there are apartment blocks, jutting out of a wall of an apartment block, I saw a mortuary in the Kilimani area. How is it that where people are living you have morgues and the Senate is quiet on this, and yet they are supposed to oversee issues with regard to county governments? I also wish to address the issue of legislative oversight. Indeed, it has been mentioned by one of the Members this morning that now the Senate wants to get involved in delegated legislation. This committee is in the National Assembly and it is the only committee that has authority as provided for in law to deal with issues regarding subsidiary legislation. I personally think that the Senate has to ask some very serious questions, do some soul searching and ask themselves: Do they want to just be governors who are just transiting through the Senate? With those few remarks, I support this very important Motion."
