    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Motion and congratulate Sen. Wako for bringing it to the House. As we have rightly heard from the last speaker, he said that civic education is very important and it must start at the top. That is very good because it is coming from the Jubilee side. We have seen Bills being signed into law and I think that is a very good message that you have sent out there. Civic education is very important because it will sensitize the public so that they are able to interrogate the work of the leaders. The public does not understand the work of the leaders. For instance, in my county, you will find people calling you and asking you about bursaries and many other things which do not involve Senators. So, if we can actually to roll out this programme to the grass roots so that people can be able to understand what to expect from their leaders, be it the Governor, the Member of Parliament, Senators and Members of the County Assembly (MCA). One MCA said that he wanted to recall the delegation of Senators from Trans Nzoia because they were not working hard enough for the county. They expected to get more money but got less money; I think Kshs3.9 billion instead of Kshs4.2 billion. What the MCA did not understand was that there are formulae that the CRA and Treasury use to arrive at the money that they give to the counties. My county is well known because our population is not very high; we are about 818 million people. So, such kinds of statements, I am sure--- ."
