    "content": "fact that whatever funds that are allocated to whatever facility or whichever ministry have to be utilised for the good of the people of our country. We have seen a number of county governments doing the right thing, but we have also seen a number of county governments playing around and really, I would say misusing funds which are meant to help our people. We come from a border county and I have seen many problems at the border. We have seen many problems in more than three quarters of the counties in our country because of the number of patients who are increasing in their bounds. Yet, what our county governments are doing is just a joke. Most of the governors and their executives would sit down, allocate funds to anything including what they call \"public participation\" and we have not seen any public being involved in anything because during Corona times nobody was having any meetings anywhere. Second, you would see money being used for supposed caravans, which are non-existent. So much money has been misused. This has to stop. In addition, from where the Executive sits, His Excellency the President must crack the whip because if he does not then it will be too late for this country. This is because as it is, we are just in the middle of the crisis we have not even got to the real levels of the crisis and yet it is very difficult for people to do the right thing. Our frontline workers - the medical staff - are really suffering even when they ask for minor things like the batteries for the thermo-guns. It is a shame. We need to do something about it. As Parliament, we are doing oversight. We need to push the Executive to ensure that funds being allocated are properly used. I beg to support."
