    "content": "There is no proper guidance in terms of the wage bill. In fact, governors have private militias to harass anybody who oppose them. They also have hired radio callers to call in vernacular radio stations to insult people. Others are what we call online armies for governors who insult people on social media and they are being paid. Those are the ghost workers who are almost in all the counties. In fact, Nandi County is leading in terms of ghost workers. Out of Kshs4 billion that goes to Nandi County, more than Kshs1 billion is paid to ghost workers. Their work is to insult those who contravene or question the governor. It is good that some of us are mature and have PhDs in handling such. I empathize and sympathize with other elected people. People like Sen. Maanzo have been enjoying because they have been commandeering with my former colleague and Member of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, now Gov. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. Madam Temporary Speaker, I was shocked when I went to your county. Somebody was stoking and questioning something valid about a road. However, somebody stood up, took the microphone away and even wanted to beat that person. It is because we have not done well in terms of putting a leash on governors. Just because they have a lot of money, they hire people who do not have any business in terms of the county’s growth. This Bill is welcome. I agree with you that when it comes to amendments, we need to tighten, so that it does not form a platform for abuse. With those many remarks, I beg to support this Bill with amendments. I thank you."
