Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I call upon colleagues to think about the issue of oversight. We only have a little avenue in plenary and committee sittings like in the CPAIC. We had started very well in 2018, where we wanted to develop a format--- When Sen. M. Kajwang’ walks into Kendu Bay and wants to see the project that has been done by Governor Awiti, he should have structures on how to engage. How will we facilitate oversight?
