Mungatana, MGH","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"The big issue here is that our county assemblies have been denied sufficient funds to carry out oversight duties. They made this plainly clear to me when I went to address the Assembly, and even when I went with the Committee to meet a sister committee in the County Assembly of Tana River. They said they have a problem with the slashed funds. This makes it difficult for committees to move and carry out their oversight duties."}
