    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think it is important that Members get to look at what is happening in this country. When I talk about the people of Turkana not having benefited as much as they should have through development, I am talking of Kenyans living in Turkana. It pains that we have spent so much money in that county and we are still seeing children attending school under trees. We still find that when rains fail, people eat wild fruits! Really? Not with Kshs80 billion having been pumped into that county! One could give examples of different counties where we have seen such problems. As a House, we express these concerns so that governors can know that we are not just giving them this money to start building big empires and white houses. Indeed, they build empires. They show off and drive in big convoys. We are giving them this money so that they can better the lives of the people at the grassroots level in terms of the 14 functions that have been devolved. If we do not tell them this, we will be failing in our duty as a House because we allocate money to the Senate to then allocate across the different counties."
