    "content": "allegations of corruption. I have seen it has been reported in some of the dailies today that a number of governors are under active investigation of corruption. Madam Temporary Speaker, the more this continues, it is a threat. We are aware that all these governors wherever they are in the formations they are in; they continue to be a threat to corruption. That incompetency continues to affect service delivery. That is why going forward, and as the fourth Senate is inaugurated in the next few months; we must agree as a Senate and the future Senate that we must have a county oversight mechanism. How do Senators do oversight? Although we get audit reports, we need to do what is called forensic audit and social audit where the Senator goes and visits a cattle dip or a dispensary in the wards. Where are the mechanisms that ensure that this House does not only push for resources? Can we ensure that the money we are pushing to be added to Kilifi County for example, where Sen. Madzayo comes from is accounted for? Is there ECD? Was it used in the correct way? In Nandi County they are calling it ECC centres and are using up to Kshs2 million. When you look at the ECD that are done by the Ministry of Education are doing them at Kshs800,000. That is why in the next Senate we must agree on the tools of county oversight mechanisms. Do we need to create county senate audit team at the level of each Senator? Do we need to create social audit where the Senator is given an auditor and a project manager to the check the project status of the county and visit those areas? These are hard questions."
