years ago. It is probably time that the Senate, through a Motion, would revive this matter so that it is brought to a close. The issue of pending bills started immediately upon the advent of devolution. Counties like Nairobi started with billions of shillings in pending bills. This is because they started with a Kshs5 billion bank loan and overdraft facility which today, eight years down the line, has not moved from the original Kshs5 billion.

I want it to go on record that this will be the 63rd Report that the CPAIC has brought to this House. We have 20 more reports remaining for us to close the 2013/2014, 2014/2015 financial years.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to welcome the team from Strathmore University. I believe that this mission is extremely important to them because they are members of the debating club. When we were in school, we looked up to the Members of the legislature because they are the ones who shaped our perspectives and ideas around debates. I hope that the House will be orderly today for the boys and girls from Strathmore University to take away something. Strathmore University enforces and insists on values and morals for students. I hope that they will find values and morals that ...

of this House. This House is known as a House of sober reflection and a House where young boys and girls, who are looking for inspiration and role models, can come to. I also want to extend an open suggestion to the Strathmore University Debating Club. In the spirit of Oxford, Harvard and other universities, they should call upon members of the public, state officers and Senators to join them during their debating days. We will be willing to attend those debating days.
