"content": "micromanaging, sometimes holding the purse and frustrating the legislative work and oversight responsibilities of the assemblies by ensuring they are not adequately facilitated. Thus, this Bill comes at the right time. It will provide the necessary power, muscle, and capability to our assemblies to oversee the county governments effectively. Members of county assemblies have consistently sought autonomy. In Vihiga County, where I come from, our assembly comprises approximately 36 Members who have been advocating for independence and autonomy, enabling them to perform their duties without fear or favour, as they are properly protected. In my opinion, granting them independence is a great gain. I believe and pray that this will go a long way in ensuring that our funds at the county level are properly overseen. One thing I like about this Bill is that the county executives will not be doing this at their whims. They have been given specific deadlines within which these funds must be given to the assemblies, that is, by the 15th of every month."
