    "content": "Somebody has mentioned about members of the county assemblies. This is an area which needs to be looked into. We cannot give Kshs9 billion and the people who are supposed to take care of that money are not properly taken care of. Somebody is saying that they are taking care of the wage bill. You can take care of the wage bill, but in the end, you lose ten times what you are trying to save. Therefore, we must protect the county assemblies. I have seen a write up from your county where somebody was asking whether members of the county assemblies are members of the Parliamentary Service Commission or with another employer. Therefore, we need to protect the county assemblies and the county executive committees so that they can provide the services that they are supposed to provide. Many Kenyans now expect development. Where we come from, the roads are very bad and there is no water. Therefore, they must move with speed to ensure that structures are put in place so that the money can be disbursed to the County governments."
