    "content": "Sometimes, I am shocked because I am told that the Senate has refused to pass the County Allocation Bill because they are waiting for a ruling from the Supreme Court. On the other hand, we are being told that the county governments have submitted budgets to the Controller of Budget. We are told that some county governments have not been formed. They have no executives. I am told the Public Service Boards have been rejected by the county assemblies. Today, I want to speak to the county assemblies, which are equivalent to the National Assembly. The members of the county assemblies are not councillors. They are the equivalent of the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya. They are supposed to play their oversight and legislative role. They are supposed to play their representation role. They are not servants of the governors. They are not stooges of the governors. They have not been elected by the governors neither have they been nominated. They have been elected by the county citizens who voted for you. As we oversee the national Government, the county assembly must oversee the budget and legislative agenda that goes on in the county governments."
