Hon. Speaker, as I thank the Members who have contributed to this Motion, I wish to say for record purposes that the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning did what was expected of it.

I also want to put on record the fact that the arrest was for the case which the Member for Nakuru Town East wanted to clarify. This matter was for procurement done in 2011/2012. Dr. Chumo was appointed in July, 2013.

This is one of the Bills that have been brought to this House in an attempt to bring a pensions scheme for the county governments. Hon.

What happened is that they started competing, ...
