    "content": "the counties. What Sen. Muthama wants to achieve is to know the identity of the suppliers in Machakos County. We have people who are senior officials in the counties, who trade with the counties either use proxy companies or companies in their name. My county is one of them and I have been observing them. Wherever they are, if they are listening to me, they should know the Senator of Vihiga is seeing what they are doing and I am coming for you. We want to know the real owners of these companies. You will find a company doing all the jobs in the county. They are the ones doing the roads, hospitals and supplying things. As a Senate, we must reign on this. You find Chief Officers and County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) doing business with our counties. All these defeats the purpose and the spirit of devolution. I think the Committee should expand the Statement and do the same for all the 47 counties, so that we ensure that devolution makes sense and that businesses and opportunities that are available in our counties are shared within the counties, not by a few unscrupulous people who do business with our money, who are corrupt in our counties, make money and become billionaires when our people are suffering. I support the two Statements"
