    "content": "It is within us to change what we need to change. I agree with the ruling of the Speaker earlier that we must proceed as a matter of necessity. Secondly, on the RMLF matter, it is very interesting that the very people who are with us in court challenging the NG-CDF matter every day, litigating up to the Supreme Court and then restart again, have never found it necessary to challenge any exercise of authority by the counties, including the bursaries. Strictly speaking, the county governors are supposed to deal with ECDE and Technical and Vocational Colleges (TVCs). Now, TVCs end up with students coming to Members of Parliament for support, and even the institutions themselves. One would have thought that the governors would concentrate on the areas of their jurisdiction before they spill over. However, many of us have not complained because, in most of our constituencies, students are needy. Even with all that, you still find other students who do not receive the bursary. But, when the same governors want to encroach into our area, it calls for us to demonstrate that our power is not just latent; it is potent. In that respect, as we move along, we do not have to wait for your direction on this. Members will be taking on these governors on many of these things, both in and outside court, in matters we have filed and those filed by others, so that we can achieve an equilibrium of power."
