    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Counties, governors and even Senators who float scholarships for the benefit of their constituents should learn a lesson. You must define the parameters of the scholarship, so that we do not have the public coming back to file complaints at the county. That is the case with Uasin Gishu County. Perhaps, the problem here is that the framework of the scholarship and the extent to which the scholarship was defined was not known by the recipients of the scholarship. That is why even the question of accounts being mismanaged is not clear. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we urge our governors to study the Fourth Schedule of our Constitution. They should know which powers and functions are devolved and that they can perform. In terms of education, I know that Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) is devolved. However, under the new framework and reforms within the sector, higher education resides within the National Government. This applies to all governors. They should put their act together and function within the law, without going into areas that they cannot afford or where the people you serve ill understand the processes."
