    "content": "General. It is not because they do not know, but because all these people who are misusing these funds know exactly what is happening with these funds and they are refusing to accept the reality. The Senate which is the custodian of devolution must seize the opportunity and take action. I think this is the time we can take that action because we have that information on our hands because the figures that have been audited by the Auditor- General. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I contribute, I know that the people of Bomet County are aware of the fact that the funds are not being used properly. They can tell you like they tell me every day that their money is getting lost. In fact, they keep asking me why we sent to them a bag which has a hole at the bottom because the money that I take to them is not doing for them the work that they thought it would do. This House must puncture the ego of the governors. It is their ego that has cost them to be intransigent. Some of them are lawyers and former legislators and they know that the law says. However, because of this ego they are doing what they are doing causing immense suffering to the people who elected us and gave us the opportunity to be custodians of their opportunity. The money we give them gives them opportunities. If we do not guard that money, we are denying them that opportunity. Action should be taken. This is the right time to do so because we have the facts and soon we are releasing another tranche of money to be wasted and to be used for endless campaigns for 2017 general elections which are yet to come. It is important that we serve the people. I support."
