    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry for that. We also noted that from the way the County of Turkana was operating, the governor and his executive team seem as if they did not know that they are supposed to be over-sighted by the county assembly. It is important for Senators to ensure that, at the county level, county assemblies operate independently. Their role is also to make sure that they know what the county executive does. The executive should understand that they cannot come up with special votes which had not been passed through the county assembly. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a result of such important issues which were noted by the Office of the Controller of Budget, I call upon this Senate to see to it that we do not allow counties to fail. We should not wait and laugh at them. We should not allow this to get to the point of investigations. We need to ensure that processes are running properly in the counties. Even in areas where there is no harmony between the executive and the county assemblies, it is upon the Senate to make sure that the county assemblies and executives understand their roles respectively. We need to emphasize to them that they are supposed to work in harmony. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to move and call upon Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o to second the Motion."
