Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support the Statement and appreciate Sen. Wetangula, for it. Those individuals who think that they can fluster the Government or the citizens of Kenya by banning this animal manure in crop farming, are misled.

Manure is a cheap fertilizer that is readily available. Those people who think that they can cheat Kenyans including legislators here that they will import this fertilizer, even if they collude with the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) to bring dried manure and claim that it is imported manure, we will check to ascertain the authenticity of the product.

As much as we would like the leadership in the county governments to be given good housing to facilitate them to do their work; as much as we are looking at our county assemblies and our executive officers at the county governments, we do not need to go overboard and apply the syndrome of corruption in this particular issue. I am happy that the Report recommends that the projects that have been started should be standardised through prototypes, structures and design.

Madam Temporary Speaker, when we came up with devolution the aim was to offer services to Kenyans. We do not want to see the county governments robbing Kenyans whereby individuals like county government executives feel they need to stay in palatial homes instead of offering services.
