    "content": "Whoever is advising the Senate should be told that for us to move forward, we need to work as a team. They need support from the National Assembly and, if they behave the way they are doing, chances are - and I dare say that - nothing from the county government will ever pass through this House as long as they are going towards that direction. If you look at the roads that have been constructed, including in my own constituency, they have been done by KeRRA, Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) and Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA). If you look at the roads that have been constructed in counties and especially, by the County Government of Uasin Gishu, it is just hot air. They just prepare documents and pay without even the contractor going to that specific road. In fact, what they are just paying are the roads that have been developed by KeRRA. It is high time we told the Senate that, instead of them practising and behaving like the National Assembly and always overseeing ministries, let them focus more on the corruption that is taking place in our counties. Let them make the governors accountable and audit the expenditure from the county governments, so that we can ensure that there is value for money and our people get the services that they deserve."
