    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak to the Statement by Sen. Kihika. I agree with my fellow Senators that there is need to interrogate documents that go to the county governments. That will ensure that money is received on budgets that are disaggregated in the sense that women, children as well as Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) can benefit. Sen. Kihika has rightly cited Article 43 of the Constitution, which states that everyone has a right to socio- economic rights. This also includes ensuring that families have water, schools and other social amenities. However, due to corruption, the Kenyan population is unable to access these rights. I would like us to find ways of over sighting monies that go to the counties. I pray that the issue of the COVID-19 vaccines will not be marred with corruption. The vaccines should be given freely to everyone so that no one misses out. There should be transparency in all the monies that go to the counties. The role of the Senate is to support counties. However, if there is no transparency, accountability or disaggregation of the money that goes to the counties, then we are allocating money to the counties in vain. It is our onus as the Senate to ensure that we oversight the funds that we fight so hard to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
