As the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, we have undertaken to look at the assets and liabilities of our counties. It is true that many of our counties do not have offices at the headquarters. For example, in my county, Laikipia, we have incomplete offices. It is true that some of these counties were given money. We, therefore, have to go into details and check whether they misused the money and if they did, we hold them accountable.

Madam Temporary Speaker, it is important for me to say that as a Committee, we are committed and equal to the task. However, I would not want to refute what my colleagues are saying about an Ad Hoc committee. Since the job will be shared, it will be done effectively and efficiently.

It is important for record purposes that it be known that these counties have Senators. Therefore, it will be important when we visit those counties to have the area Senator with us. Even before we go to the counties we can sit here in Nairobi and they can tell us whether or not their counties have offices. That way, we will have reduced time and resources. For example, we can hear what Sen. Seneta would say about Kajiado County. She even says that they do not have offices for revenue collection. If they do not have offices to collect revenue, ...

Asante sana Bw. Spika. Ninaungana nawe kuwakaribisha wanafunzi wa kutoka Lamu na vijana kutoka Kakamega. Awali nilipata fursa ya kuongea nao na kuwapa motisha katika shughuli zao za kuendeleza mambo ya masomo, hasa wale waliotoka upande wa Kakamega kwa kuwa wanasomea kuwa mapadri. Niliwaambia kwamba mimi kama Mkatoliki ninajua kwamba kuna ule ugumu wa kusomea kuwa padri, lakini nikawaambia ya kwamba ni vizuri wajitie moyo na ninahakika kwamba, wakijifunga kibwebwe, wataweza kupasi masomo yao. Wanafunzi kutoka Lamu nao niliwaambia kwamba ninajua wametoka mbali ndipo waweze kuja hapa kuona vile ambavyo tunajadili mambo hapa Seneti. Niliwaambia kuwa kile ambacho ni cha ...

mwingi. Hasa wakati huu ambao kuna kiangazi, itakuwa vizuri tukishughulikia bwawa hilo. Hiyo itahakikisha kwamba wakati mvua itakapokuja wakaazi wa sehemu ile watapata maji. Sio sehemu hiyo tuu inayohitaji maji. Ukitembea sehemu za Laikipia na sehemu zingine nchini, kuna shida ya maji. Wakati wa kiangazi kuna shida nyingi na wafugaji wa kuhama hama hutegemea yale mabwawa kuwapa mifugo yao maji. Kwa hivyo, sio bwawa hilo pekee ambalo lafaa kushughulikiwa bali hata mabwawa madogo madogo yanafaa kutengenezwa katika sehemu zingine za nchi ya Kenya. Asante sana, Bw. Spika.
