    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank and congratulate you for the very clear statement that you have made regarding the boards. I think the Governors have misinterpreted their role in the counties. To exercise executive functions means that you are the person to implement. Issues about conceptualization; dreaming about the counties are for everybody. There is nothing which can prevent Senators, who are the most experienced politicians in the counties. It would be a tragedy to remove them from providing ideas about development of their counties. I think this is a very good forum for us to meet with all the other leaders to share ideas. Once we agree on what should be done, the Governor can go and implement what we agree. I see it largely as a sitting room in your own house where the children sleep in their own bedroom or with their grandparents when they visit them and then we meet at the sitting room all of us. What there is now is that the Governor is hiding in his own bedroom, the County Commissioner is in his bedroom, the Member of the County Assembly (MCA) is in his bedroom, the Member of Parliament (MP) is in his bedroom, and none is coming out. So, what this forum provides is for all of us to come to the sitting room and discuss what is happening in our counties. 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."
