    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you consider this, holistically look at Article 96 and the provision of Article 229, without being constricted in the narrow definition of “or” and “and” in Subsection 7. We will have a situation like in Murang’a, for example, where the county government and national Government fighting over a water fund. In that situation, it might be necessary that the Senate oversight Committee intervenes. However, it cannot do so if the accounts of that fund are not brought to this House. Even if the Senate or the National Assembly may not act on the reports, it is important that those reports are tabled in this House. This is because Parliament has the power and duty to look at all reports that come from across the county under Article 125 of the Constitution. It can summon anybody to come and clarify anything under Article 125."
