    "content": "On the Senate, in my view, it should not sit in the management of the county government boards. That is because the Senate is an oversight body. Definitely, if I play my oversight role, then I should do my work. If the Senators want to be governors, they can view for that next time. However, let them do their bit. They cannot sit in the management boards, allocate resources and, at the same time, audit and play an oversight role. That does not make any sense to me. In my view, governors should be put on check and they must do the right thing. Every cent that is allocated to the counties should be properly utilized and accounted for. That is when we will realize the fruits of devolution and the poverty index that we have in our counties will come down. Again, that is when we will do justice to this country and the people who elected us to be in the position of leaders. If we fail in the way we use our resources and in the delivery of services to our people, it will be a big let-down and, as the Kisumu County Women Representative, I will not be part of that."
