    "content": "needed today in matters of marginalization and to ensure that as we continue evolving and implementing the Constitution, that gap is continuously narrowed. This House has not only debated but passed several Motions concerning the welfare and state of Members of County Assemblies and County Assemblies. I remember that recently this House passed a Motion urging the Government to install fibre optic cables to county assemblies and other enhanced facilities. Think about the reality between the two situations, one; a group of MCAs debating and discussing issues affecting people of a county under a tree while others are agitating for modern facilities like the installation of Information Communication Technology (ICT) facilities. This House needs to rise to the occasion and act as per the Constitution. As I support this Motion by the Senate Majority Leader, I want to pose a question. We should ask ourselves, for example, when the budgets were being looked at and when the County Assemblies brought in their budgets, was there a possibility that the three counties – as they did their budgets – probably set aside Kshs100 million for a Governor’s office or other misplaced priorities? This will be noteworthy for us, as a House, so that this message spreads across. Priorities should be put right."
