    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to say that it is good that this Petition has been brought from Wajir. I will emphasize two things. One is the capacity of the Senators to oversight counties. It is very good that this morning, that is the issue that was at hand. As we move forward from this year to the next year, the Kshs1billion being allocated towards being more vigilant to the expenditure of the counties is not enough. When we go to next year, we need to relook at the whole issue. Secondly, the Budget and Appropriations Committee of the National Assembly should relook at how much money they are allocating to the Auditor-General. This is because it is through the Auditor-General’s Report that we will be more effective in terms of our oversight in the counties. Finally, even as we oversight, it is important that what we say in this House comes to bear and to be. As we speak, we have a Governor who is in office yet this House has kicked him out. Therefore, the budget for legal action for the Senate, the amount of money that we ought to allocate to the Senate to carry out cases in the Supreme and High Court towards the implementation of what we have passed in this House, should be enhanced so that we can be more effective."
