    "content": "clear definition because we might have a governor who will want to go and attend an investor’s conference in Dubai as an emergency. There must be a clear definition of what becomes an emergency for the country because the manner in which expenditures have been going on in the counties is very suspect. Finally, I do not like to find myself in this rush. I do not feel like my thought process has been utilized. I feel that we have not used our brains to contribute effectively to this Bill. As a House, we need to support the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget because they have applied their minds, contributed immensely and varied the figures professionally. It is for that reason that I support this Bill. It should be an opportunity for us as a House to pass this Bill so that we can progress to the next stage. Lastly, corruption in the counties must not be condoned. I have asked my county and I want to ask all other counties to appreciate that a county is not a private entity for one person to say that he or she is running it. The other day I told the MCAs for Wajir and Mandera that it is very shameful that MCAs go to a function and instead of saying that the resources have been allocated by the Senate, they advocate all the resources to one person; the governor. They thank the governor for constructing the road and so on. The kind of sycophancy that is going on at the county and driven by ignorance of the fact that counties are being run by multi-institutions like the Senate, the county assemblies and so on means that we cannot reduce them to a one-man institution. I support the Bill with amendments."
