Eve Obara","speaker":null,"content":"chairpersons of county councils who had very limited resources, but we never had the challenge of pending bills, unpaid salaries and other unmet financial obligations. I commend the few governors who have done well. One of them is my governor. I can tell this House without fear of contradiction that we have been able to raise our revenues from a paltry Ksh130 million to about Ksh1 billion within a year. It is possible. It is about time we sanctioned governors who do not meet their targets because they have no reason not to meet those targets. I want the audit function to be strengthened within the county governments because I believe there is a lot of wastage. Money is not being managed properly in some counties. With those remarks, I reject the amendments."}
