Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. This is a very crucial time in the life of devolved governments. We are approaching the last year of the first five years of the devolved government system. The County Public Accounts and Investments Committee has played a very crucial role, for the time that I have been a Member, in pursuing and looking at, particularly, the Auditor- General’s reports on how the funds that have gone to the counties have been spent. We are shocked at the way money has been spent in the counties. It seems like there ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As the Vice Chairperson has requested for five minutes to think about it, we also want him to know that people are in the cold. As he thinks of a long-term solution, we want those people whose houses have been destroyed to return to their homes. We have the El Nino rains in that north rift territory and people are suffering. If this Government is sincere, I want to see everybody resettled by Thursday this week as they look for their own solutions. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is not a usual Statement that requires a long period. People were evicted yesterday and houses and maize burnt. So, they are literally in the cold because of the rains. Could the Vice Chairperson take an initiative immediately after this to see the necessary relevant officers and Ministries to restore order? The people can go back to their farms as the Government continues to sort out this issue of a long-term solution.
