On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This being a House of record, we need to be very careful with the kind of comments we make, whether in jest, on a light note or with seriousness.

It would be unfortunate for a leader in this House to attempt to make a correlation between the frequency of meetings of committee sittings---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a point of order I want to raise. It is unfortunate if the Chair then hijacks my point of order.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Senator for Makueni County to attempt to make a correlation between the number of meetings of a committee that has been mandated by this House to undertake certain actions with the corruption that is happening in the counties?

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to support this Bill which is before the House today. I congratulate the Mover of the Bill, the Senator for Narok, Sen. Olekina, for bring it. It is something that we have been discussing offline for quite some time. I am glad that today, we have seen it fit to allocate time to go into it and make sure that it becomes law. Madam Temporary Speaker, as they say, there is usually the good, the bad and the ugly in everything that we do. When I look at this Bill, there is a ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, it could be that sometimes it might be cost-effective for counties to outsource those facilities. That is a discussion and latitude that counties should be given. Where they find it more expensive to put up the physical facilities and already the facilities that can be outsourced, they need to be given that latitude. The second objective of this Bill from what I can discern is to provide a clear role for the Senators to exercise their oversight role pursuant to Article 96 of the Constitution. This is bold because as a House in the Legislature, it is ...
