    "content": "finances. In leadership and governance, it is the control of finance that matters quite a lot. Once the Governor is in control of finances, the other matters are left now at the mercy of that Governor. It is high time that we support the MCAs in being autonomous in their operations so that they can effectively execute their representation and oversight for the benefit of the people they represent in every ward. If we need to cite an example of poor governance, we can conduct a case study of Meru County from 2022 to 2024. Then if you want to do a good study of good governance, we can start from last year up to now, where good governance and bad governance are very visible. For the first time, I would like to thank the Senate. It has taken them a considerable amount of time to act, yet these are the things they are supposed to be doing. What they have been doing, including trying to oversee the National Assembly, is wrong. I thank our Judiciary for setting a clear record. If the Senators are serious, they will now go back to work with the county assemblies to oversee the county executives. The dangling of carrots by county executives to MCAs will come to an end due to this Bill. There should be cooperation among those with oversight roles, including members of the National Assembly and MCAs. The MCAs will now have the freedom to serve our people without being controlled by the executive. With those few remarks, I support this amendment. Once again, I congratulate the Senate for the first time since I came to this House. This is the best thing they have done. Whatever they were doing in the past was entering into other guy’s territories and coming out naked. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
