    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this very important Motion. If county governors will not be accountable and resist the oversight role of the Senate, then devolution will fail. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all of us appreciate the fact that counties have very little resources. These House continues to seek avenues of increasing the resources that go to counties. It is tragic that even the little resources we are sending to counties are being squandered. Therefore, governors should wake up because accountability is a must. We must get services in our counties and value for money. Governors have been running up and down branding every stakeholder in the devolved system of Government as anti-devolution. There cannot be a greater agent who is anti-devolution than a governor himself who refuses to account for resources given to him. Therefore, it would be a huge tragedy to have one individual governor denying their counties resources. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to express my displeasure. This association of governors calling themselves Council of Governors makes them continue giving conflicting information and to mislead their members. The truth has now come out that the 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."
