    "content": "Any person, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, would have done it; you do not have to become an accountant to detect this mistake. So, actually, there was no job done by anybody except the Speaker of the County Assembly; the person who just said there is a problem here and I am sending it to my seniors. He knows for sure that the Senate is their senior, and that is why he reported the matter to us; by writing to the Controller of Budget and also copying it to the Speaker of the National Assembly. He understood that he had to inform the people who are in charge of the county governments, and that is exactly what he did. But we sort of let him down; we just collected the figures and told him to go ahead. Supposing now the same county assembly sits down and says: “Why were you accusing the county executives, is it, may be, because you are fighting with them?” But, here, we want to give him teeth to bite by saying we want to know who altered those figures. He is capable of saying “it is so-and- so;” that is all the investigation seeks to unravel. We want to know who altered those figures. We want to know who is culpable. If we are not told, then the entire county, the Governor and the Executive Committee should be held responsible for this mistake. Let us set a good example. Let the Standing Committee of this Senate start moving around to make sure that there is an officer specifically to deal with the money that is being sent down there and to connect with other people who are responsible for this money. Once again, Mr. Temporary Speaker, I thank you for allowing me to say a few words. I apologise for any mishaps. Thank you."
