    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issues we raised are very pertinent. As much as we are trying to say that the county assemblies will work with governors, we may be wrong. Look at how the governors have manipulated this process and they have realised that the courts will always protect them. Looking at Makueni County today, the Executive has resources while the county assembly does not have. County executives have realised that they can do without county assemblies. It is this Senate, therefore, that has to come up with a solution. Even the Council of Governors has not given this Senate a report. We have no idea how much they have removed and what they have used. So, how do county assemblies survive? Most of them will be in the pockets of governors whether we like it or not. It is for us to unlock this, either through a framework or by looking at the County Governments Act and amending some of the laws that were put there."
