"content": " Firstly, Hon. Temporary Chairman, as much as we support our colleagues on the other side, the Senators, there is a provision of Kshs500 million in this Budget for the Senate Oversight Fund (SOF). If you read the Constitution, as Members of Parliament, we also play the oversight role, but we do not have such funds. Secondly, the Senators are more focused on what is happening in the National Assembly, thus forgetting that they are supposed to oversee the county governments. There is a lot of wastage and corruption in the county governments, but we have not seen the Senators talk about it and yet, that is what they are supposed to be doing. In spite of having the Ksh500 million, there is very little to be seen and, therefore, I oppose the SOF. It should be scrapped."
