    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. I can see that my card is now working. One thing we need to note here is that we are dealing with defiant people in the name of governors and they are using the counties to exploit the spoils of what they are getting indirectly from Treasury through us. The counties will lag behind because of the incompetence and inefficiency of some of these governors. It is very important that from this time henceforth, the governors should be made to account for what is supposed to be accounted for. There are rules of the game. I realize that in every other game, even when you are playing football, if you mess, you are first given a yellow card, a red card and then you are discontinued from the match. We need to think about these governors very seriously. They are making the counties suffer just because of their ignorance and because of what they think they can do against the wishes of the people they are leading. As we support this Motion, it is important that we caution the other governors who might be tempted to behave the same way like these ones. We are the people on the ground who really see these things. You will get a governor going for lunch in his town centre and vehicles are blocked from all sides so that he can go for lunch. Even Senators are pushed off the road. It is as serious as that. If they are doing that with the money we are giving them, there is a way that we can reduce that money so that they can come to the same level with the rest of the people and the time is now. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have heard a number of stories where they travel for benchmarking for comparison reasons. I am sure they do not even practice what they see there. They only make noise like empty debes because they do not practise what they see. They should suffer and this is the time. I support."
