    "content": "That became a nightmare for the King and almost brought down his government. Things like attitude are very important. If you are a Governor and you think that if you lose, for example, Kshs3 million that is a small thing, should you be allowed to continue presiding over the affairs of that county? If you are a Governor of a particular county and for over one month you have never held a County Executive Committee meeting, you do not know what the County Executive Secretary of Agriculture, Finance and so on are doing, you are saying: “They are their own responsibility.” You do not even get reports and then you go and launch projects that you do not know where they are going. When these projects collapse you say: “It is not my responsibility.” It is upon this House, tonight, this is the moment that we must make a decision and say that devolution will be rescued by this Senate from men and women who are not willing to take responsibility in their own counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to run through a few issues in this report. One of the charges against the Governor was violation of the County Governments Act. This Act in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
