    "content": "However, I emphasize the issue of accountability that colleagues have mentioned. I would like to state that one of our key roles is oversight. As Senators, we need to understand how the funds have been used. Are the projects we are fighting for taken to the mwananchi on the ground. Let me wind up, Madam Temporary Speaker, by saying that the concerns on the County Assembly and County Executive ceilings have been mentioned on the probability of lowering these amounts. You realize that these concerns come because Members have to show that they are fighting for more funds in their counties. However, it is good for the Members to note that the county treasury staff amounts have been reduced for remuneration, the rent for the Governors’ residences has also been scrapped, and salaries of the Governor and Deputy Governor have also been slightly reduced and hence the reduction of this amount is stated here. The salaries of County Secretaries and Chief Officers based on the graduated scale at this initial point are at the minimal level. Each year, there will an annual increment. As the years go by, the increments will continue to increase. With those many remarks, I appreciate colleagues, confirm and support that we are going to be keen and ensure that all these amendments are captured."
