    "content": "One of the biggest issues we must deal with is the fact that we have so much money going to the counties, but we do not see the value for it. We do not see the governors being held accountable. In other words, what we have seen is the Senate being obsessed with what we do in this House. I say so because I have been a senator. The senators have forgotten their main mandate of protecting the counties. What we have seen is the obsession by the Senate of calling Cabinet Secretaries to ask them questions. They should actually be calling the governors and the County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) from the county governments to hold them to account. The mandate of oversight at national Government level is vested in this House. We must have a conversation on whether Cabinet Secretaries should be appearing before the Senate or governors and CECMs should be doing so. We are now having Cabinet Secretaries giving excuses that they are not able to come to the National Assembly to answer Questions because in the morning or afternoon, they were in the Senate. Oversight of the national Government has now become a matter of duplication. Therefore, we should be able to deal with it at some point."
