    "content": "During his Speech, His Excellency the President proposed that we should work with the National Assembly in setting up the oversight fund for the Senate. I believe with the establishment of the oversight fund, we will ensure that we perform our roles and surpass the people’s expectations. With CPAC, CPISFC and the oversight fund, I do not think we have any excuse not to do what people sent us here to do. I will not say much, but wish them all the best. We are here to watch and monitor and ensure that the funds taken to county governments do what the people expect it to do. Any time we have an issue and CPAC needs to question a governor, CPAC should ensure the Senator of that area is also involved in order to represent the people of that county. Madam Temporary Speaker, I heard that Gov. Mutua was here and he switched off the gadgets. We will ensure that will not happen again while we are in this House. Sen. Kavindu Muthama said that the people watched the session live for one day. However, the next day, it was not live. He had that power. Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not think governors can have powers to that extend to control the media, us and everybody else. They are there to give service to the people. It is not their business or their houses. They must be oversighted to ensure that the money they are given is used entirely on the people in the county. With those remarks, I second the Motion and support the membership of the three committees."
