    "content": "done with caution so that governors do not just go out there and look for money when the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) and the people they represent have no idea about it. They must know where this money is coming from. Is it a loan or a grant? Who is going to pay it? We do not want see situations where counties will be overburdened with debts. All counties should formulate their own development agenda. They must also disclose all this information to the members of the public. After five years, we do not want to see counties worse off than they were when they were established. Governors should not borrow money to develop their counties if they do not have plans for development. I am sure that as the foundation is being set, these are some of the things we need to address. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I conclude, it is true history will judge the Senate and the leaders who have been given the responsibility to represent the people at the county government level. It is important for us to start thinking about the foundations we are laying for the county governments in terms of the laws that we are going to pass. As I said, we need to interrogate the Acts that relate to counties just to ensure that this agenda and also these deliverables are put in place. Let us remember that in a couple of years time, we will all be looking back to see how far our counties have come in ensuring that they have uplifted the lives of the people. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
