I am not going to discuss what my colleagues have said. Instead, I am going to make recommendations. I sat in the Committee chaired by Sen. M. Kajwang’. The team was very good and we did an excellent job. I have also sat with Sen. Osotsi, and I have watched and seen how that Committee works. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are discussing and trying to figure out what is broken in our country. We are looking at the issues surrounding devolution and I would like to tell my colleagues, in this House, that the responsibility falls squarely on us. If you remember, we have not visited the county governments that we are supposed to oversight. We are always giving reasons and excuses why we cannot go there. There is always an excuse that the budget is not appropriate or we are not able to go because we cannot do A, B, C, D. However, money is always available for us to take trips out of the country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Parliamentary Budget Office staff are the people doing the oversight for us, yet the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are the ones who are supposed to be doing that. This House must have an engagement that is permanent and consistent on a daily or even weekly basis. They should tell us what they have done with the matrix which explains the time they have taken and what issues they are looking at. When you look at our county governments, including the assemblies, you will realise that the systems are broken.

The Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) has voiding. People are not being paid pending bills that we keep talking about over and over. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have a problem with the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) and the Ward funds. We also cannot agree on whether Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) or Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) should be the ones managing county roads. This House must sit and discuss these issues to their logical conclusion. We are leaving too many gaps and as we do that, the governors and even the national Government are doing whatever they want. This House must take responsibility on what to do. There are 11 counties that are doing well and are running their budgetary allocations well. Their Human Resources (HR) allocations is at 30 per cent of whatever they are receiving for development expenditure. I believe that those counties must be rewarded. We must begin to give people credit where they deserve. We cannot assume that everybody is free. We are not using the donor funds well. We have governors providing late submissions of documents. We must be in a situation where we can begin to genuinely rate the governors who are doing well and the ones who are useless so that we can be in a position to---"},{"id":1546085,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1546085/?format=json","text_counter":188,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.
