    "content": "because the governors are not treating them as they should even though that is where they belong. Therefore, something really needs to happen so that the counties are made to be responsible for ECDE. Governors also allege that they are not paid, and there is no funding. That may be true in some, but not all the months because the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury reported recently that funding has been released up to October. What is owed to the counties is this month of November. There should be a change. There should be movements because funding is already there or has been happening. Activities that are supposed to be on and active should be on, but the governors are in denial. As they do that, they are busy building and buying houses and homes for their own selves and their people relatives You find that in the towns that are near where the governors are, a lot of activities for the governor are going on. For example, the Governor of Machakos is busy in Nairobi or Mombasa. The one of Mombasa is busy somewhere, building somewhere and buying land, and yet they are telling the citizens and everybody else that there is no funding coming to them. Our position as Senators who oversight should be strengthened. That needs funding so that we are actively doing our work of oversight. Then something should be done about officers of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) because some of the agents sent to counties are busy collecting money. These governors and their people are bribing EACC officials. They are just busy because these days they carry cash in their vehicles to give to these guys. So as they chase them around, they are just busy collecting money. Auditing reports should be strengthened and people should go to jail so that it becomes a lesson to others. I support."
