    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that communication and also to bring two aspects on this County Development Board which have not been much talked about. We are all on a five year mandate including the Governors. Some of the very good programmes that the Governors may have, we wish them well, but not all of them are going to find their way back to their seats, and each one of them would wish to see the programmes that they started still progressing even when a new Governor takes office. Unless there is a body of leadership in that county which can ensure that the development which started with the last Governor is still continuing, there will come in another Governor who will rubbish it. At the same time, none of the current Governors, just for the record are going to be there ten years from today. It, therefore, means that some of the programmes which the county governments will be doing are long-term; well past their five-year mandate. As per the Constitution, wananchi can say whatever they want or through their leaders. The body which will ensure that the aspirations of people continue from one regime of governorship to the other is the County Development Board. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the Governors were to get it clear, they would support this board more than anybody else, because it is the one which will safeguard their legacy 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."
