    "content": "So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Senate should wake up, not to merely support devolution just for the sake of it while we know that this money is being misused left, right and centre; and by who? By some Governors! I am not talking about all the Governors. Some of them might be doing a very good job. We have heard that Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) are travelling all over the world such that now, some of them are not even accepted in South Africa, Malaysia; and they have been refused entry into Tanzania. Who has been brought to book? What is the Auditor-General doing? They are doing nothing! Are their officers in the field – who are supposed to pass vouchers – compromised also? I think time has come for the Government to employ private auditors to go and audit some of these counties. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if it is not because even that little money is going to some of our people, I would have totally rejected approving of any resources to some of the counties, particularly in my own county. I am not a person who complains. I have done everything possible, but you cannot push a donkey which is not willing to move because you have overloaded it. The only thing it will do is to sit down because it cannot speak. So, some of these Governors are just doing things the way they want to do them because they do not know their responsibilities. There is no accountability or 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."
