    "content": "the point that you cannot even sleep in your own house because they send goons after you. It is indeed very sad. We urge the Senate to do their work. Their responsibility is to oversee the county governments. What purpose do they serve by inviting a Cabinet Secretary for matters of national security, engaging in theatrics, when they have no means to reprimand, impeach, or even invoke an impeachment motion? What is their interest? Can they do their work. If they genuinely care about the security of Kenyans, they should invite the kanjo to the Senate and inquire why they resort to using rungus at work. The Seante should cease these attempts of fighting for recognition when they know they are merely playing to the public gallery. They are aware that they are simply whipping up emotions, claiming to be the Upper House capable of engaging the Cabinet Secretary, whilst knowing they possess no power to reprimand or even call for a motion of impeachment against anyone in the national Government. Therefore, I urge the Senate to stand firm and resolute against the governors stealing from Kenyans. It is time we questioned them, through the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC), about what further measures they implement to safeguard these funds. All we see are theatrics; a governor appears, sometimes answers questions anyhow, and is subsequently asked to leave. These performances are everywhere on TV, and ultimately, that is where it ends. It is indeed sad. Kenyans are losing a lot of money. We must find a way to ensure that these funds are traced back to the grassroots. We need value for the money and taxes that Kenyans pay. With those many remarks, I still support the Ksh415 billion, although I wish it had been reduced to Ksh200. Thank you."
