    "content": "We are entrenching the Senate Oversight Fund so that Senators are also well-equipped to take care of their roles in the counties. We always remind Senators that their role is to oversight what happens in the counties, and not to spend all the time summoning cabinet secretaries and bringing everybody here to ask questions, which is not their reserve. It is a reserve of the National Assembly. The ladies have the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF). When we finish with this, we will legislate under the Constitutional provision and have clear principles on how much money will be allocated to NGAAF from the national Government share. We will also establish how much would go to the Senate Oversight Fund, where that money will come from, and how much of the national Government Fund would go to NGAAF. This is so that no argument would arise regarding what one is entitled to. There is no pushing back and forth regarding the money. It is high time we brace ourselves for this. As soon as we come back in February, we should move with speed and entrench the National Government Constituencies Development Fund into the Constitution. Thank you very much."
