    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. This is shameful to say the least. These governors should be ashamed of themselves. We all know they are the cause of this impasse, as Sen. Cherargei said. They sat in the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC), which is chaired by the Deputy President, when we were fighting in the Committee on Finance and Budget to push the whole Senate. That is what they did and now they are complaining. Madam Deputy Speaker, this morning, we had a meeting with Gov. Oparanya and I asked him questions concerning counties. He said specifically that they do not police counties; they just ask them for reports and the reports are sent. What authority does he have now to police counties and ask them to send their staff on leave and close hospitals? What a shame! The worst part is this: They know that the national Government has been eyeing that lucrative busines of the Department of Health and want to take it back. He is giving them the opportunity now. While we are fighting for counties and devolution, he wants now the national Government to take back the high docket because counties have failed. They are stealing everything. In my county, we say that the county leadership collects the money of the county in gunias or bags. That is what they do everywhere. We are fighting for them here. We will continue fighting for more money for the counties because of our people and for posterity, and not because of these--- I do not know what to call them; these gunny bag collectors who collect all the money from the county. They should be ashamed of themselves and not look for political mileage by claiming what they have done and they are bringing money. There are not bringing any money. The Senate will bring money to them."
