Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairman for being candid enough. However, as you can see, this answer is not signed. It is just a paper. Perhaps, it can be formalized. As he has suggested if the Cabinet Secretary in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Can he table it so that it becomes the official position because this is a House of records?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you may recall that as a supplementary question, I asked the Chairman to confirm whether staff recruited by counties since 2013 have been entered into any pension scheme. Counties have been recruiting and we are not sure whether the staff they have recruited on permanent and pensionable basis are permanent and pensionable. It is inhuman to recruit staff and not provide them with any pension.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sought this Statement in April this year. If indeed the counties were asked to provide information and they have not responded up to now, that shows the impunity that is developing in our counties and that must be checked. This is a serious matter. Even if he gets the answer from the institution that has been mentioned, I do not think they will answer adequately. They may tell us how many counties have deposited money but they may not answer the other points of clarification but counties still have to answer. So, it will be useful ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House has always played a fair game. We recognise that we have a bicameral Parliament and we have always acceded to and processed any Bills or business that comes from the National Assembly with the seriousness and urgency that it deserves. However, there has not been any reciprocity; not that we are asking for it as a favour but the Constitution says that institutions of Government must consult and cooperate. However, what is happening is total non- cooperation. The Constitution gives this House the responsibility to oversight counties and a function that has been given must ...

Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I think Sen. Haji is right and that is specifically why that clause is being deleted because the Bill proposes that NCPB does research and establishes research institutions. That clause is being deleted because that is not its function.
