    "content": "Another thing that my learned friend and colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, has talked about, is that this money we are taking is expensive. We are praying that all the 47 county governors who will receive this Kshs17.159 billion will use it well. We want the governors to know that we are borrowing this money from the World Bank at 100 times more than what Britain is paying because these institutions are theirs. These institutions are making them richer. Therefore, let us not misuse these monies. The governor of Tana River County and all the other governors, please, let us not misuse this money. Have a heart for the people of your county. Use this money for the benefit of the people. This is not free money, Government allocations or direct money. We are borrowing this is money at a rate 100 times more than what the United Kingdom (UK), USA, France and Germany access this money from these Bretton Woods Institutions. Use this money fairly for the benefit of the people. When we, Senators, come for you, do not feel bad. This is because when we come for you, we are aware that this money is expensive. When you misuse this money, we shall come for you at that county level. It is not politics. Some people think that when we are doing our oversight--- When Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale says many billions have been pumped into Kakamega County and the money is not being seen on the ground; and I also stand to say the same thing for Tana River County, people think you want those seats. No. As Senators, we know these monies are difficult and expensive to access. When it comes to the people, we want the monies to be used for the purpose for which we borrowed and approved it for them to come to you. I hope governors and County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) somewhere are listening. If this money is misused and comes to us through the Committee on Public Accounts of the Senate, we shall not be very kind to those people who will be found to have misused them. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I support and congratulate the Chairman for the work they have done in this Committee."
