    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we should be talking every time and supporting each other instead of fighting. You do not understand what my people are going through yet money has been disbursed. When such governors are invited to appear before the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), they are given a leeway. They ask for several months and they are given. Somebody who was supposed to appear before the Senate by the month of March is said to be appearing in July. Yet, somebody stands here to ask me who released that money to Kiambu County. As I stand here, this Government of President William Samoei Ruto is devoted to support devolution. If you look at the Cash Disbursement Schedule, the money will be send to the counties every month. They will get Kshs32 billion this month and Kshs30 billion next month. Just like that all the way to 15th June, 2024. The only month they are going to get a lot of money is the month of April 2024, where they will get Kshs34 billion. We should be asking ourselves as a Senate, what are the governors doing with these monies? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I heard Sen. Mumma here talk about the feeding of children in primary school in Nairobi City County being a national Government rather that a county Government exercise. I wish all the governors in the 47 counties could embrace that programme and feed the children."
