    "content": "Article 35 of the Constitution provides that every Kenyan has a right to access information, including information held by the State. The President gave us information about the state of the country to create an atmosphere where Kenyans can debate and give their views. I am happy that out of that, we have had a lot of discussions even on the FM radio stations. We are getting feedback for corrective measures on whatever could be an oversight in the President‟s Speech. I also want to refer to the county governments. They seem to imagine that Members of the National Assembly have no role to play in whatever they do. I want to quote Article 95(4)(c) of the Constitution which states that:- “(4) The National Assembly- (c) exercises oversight over national revenue and its expenditure”. Members of Parliament owe Kenyans a duty of care and responsibility. There is a lot of embezzlement of funds by the counties, as the Leader of the Majority has said. There are a number of counties that I expected to be on this list."
