Mr. Speaker, Sir, this was a Statement that was being sought by the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Madzayo. With your permission I will add a sentence. It is important for all of us to accord ourselves---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sought permission to say a word.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be brief. I want to comment on the first two Statements. The first one was from the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. I am happy to note that the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations is engaging on matters to do with the Kenya Urban Support Programme (KUSP). That is a huge programme funded by the World Bank (WB) in 45 counties and 59 municipalities. I urge the Committee to go beyond scratching the surface in regards to the monies that have been expended in rolling out that programme.
view
25 Jul 2023 in Senate:
I know there is a conflict between that Committee and the Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing because the KUSP also deals with infrastructure issues. Therefore, the two committees need to agree on which committee will pursue which line to ensure that monies expended are properly used and there are results.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second issue is on the closure of county assemblies. The Committee should have told us exactly which assemblies have closed and which ones have resumed. While at it, it will be important for the Committee to note that the closure is not necessarily as a consequence of issues of Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) because as late as yesterday, the County Assembly of Makueni adjourned indefinitely on account of the arrest of their Speaker.
