    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, it shocks me when I see the Chair of the CoG, Gov. Oparanya, who has been the Governor for Kakamega for the last two terms--- The County Government of Kakamega received a disclaimer of opinion for 2015/16; 2016/17, and then on the Financial Year 2017/18 they received a qualified opinion. The definition of a disclaimer of opinion is that the county government misrepresented facts in as far as their financial position is concerned. It shocks me because when you see these governors talking, every financial year they project that they will raise about Kshs1.6 billion in terms of Kakamega for the year 2016/2017 on own-source revenue, but only raised Kshs500 million. Today, here, the Chair of the CoG has given orders to the other 46 governors to shut down counties. You know, this CoG is a club of boys and some ladies; it has got no consequences. This CoG has been giving orders. They have told governors not to appear before the CPAIC. However, most governors realize that Article 226 (5) will catch up with them. So, they take their own personal responsibility and appear. I want to congratulate those who are doing so because it shows that they want to be leaders. I do not know what happens when you make somebody a prefect; they even forget that they were once students. It shocks me. This House is here to defend the interests of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
