    "content": " I get your point, Hon. Temporary Speaker. However, my point was on the vision of the county governments. Devolution was intended to allow resources to trickle down to the counties and to promote the independence of marginalised regions. Corruption has resulted in governors who run everything without consultation and with little oversight from the MCAs. The Bill will address that challenge, and I support it. I hope that we will deal with the issue of the clerks so that we can have very strong county governments and county assemblies. I also encourage the Senate to propose a Bill that blocks immediate former governors from running for a Senate seat because they use the Senate to protect themselves from prosecution after looting during their 10-year term. The Senate should protect us from these thugs who transition to Parliament because the National Assembly and the Senate have respectable Members. We do not wish to have thugs sitting in our House. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
