    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I stand to also give my contribution. We need to live within our means. My expectation was that the Senate would come up with measures to motivate the counties to spend prudently. Unfortunately, the counties have become dens of wastage. They are a place where when they ask for more, they are given without many questions. I am very surprised that following most of the discussions of some of the county chiefs that have appeared in Senate, it has turned out to be some sort of a ‘boys’ club’. You find that there are a lot of jokes even on very serious matters, especially when there are issues to do with misappropriation of funds. I would have expected the senators to advise the counties to come up with creative ways of generating revenue. And as they receive the revenue, they also ensure that there is no wastage so that in future, the same counties can even advance some money to the national Government. I stand here to join the Committee in rejecting what has been presented here by the Senate. Let us live within our means."
