    "content": "I was disappointed when the Council of Governors said they are going to close services. They should tell us what they are doing with the money they have been collecting locally. I have seen some counties wanting to collect taxes from people selling chicken. I think it was in Kakamega County. Hon. Wangwe is here confirming. We are therefore telling the Senate to focus on those Bills that pertains their core business. They should not focus on secondary Bills. They have been running up and down doing work that is to be done by the National Assembly. Let them focus on issues to do with counties. I understand there is a committee on Public Accounts looks at the expenditure. I wish they expand the mandate of that committee to look at the revenue aspect. They just look at the expenditure, but not on the revenue. Today they are debating the revenue sharing formula, but they are disappointing us. Ten times and they are not getting a solution yet CRA gave them a solution in April 2019. What have they been doing? We know they have been running up and down, and whatever has been happening whether it is whipping or not, siku zamwizi ni arubaini. Everybody must carry their cross. As we move forward, we want to look at the issue of integrity. The governors have disappointed devolution. In fact, they are the enemy number one when it comes to devolution. They must put a mechanism in place for purposes of accountability. We call upon the CRA and KRA and support this formula so that we can move with speed and implement. I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support."
