    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Senate for making very keen and accurate observations in key areas. I had the opportunity to tour America courtesy of the sponsorship of this House. One of my duties was to see how order and prudence in Government expenditure is done. I was also fortunate to meet the so-called First Ladies (read the wives of Governors) and I had the opportunity to remind them that they should advise their husbands to run the affairs of the counties the same way the Americans have done. A lot of things done by the State governments are done very properly. A lot of things that have gone wrong in this country have found their way via a procurement system that had no diligence. I realise these people have talked about arbitrary variations. You constantly find tenders that are meant to take Kshs5 billion ending up gulping Kshs1 billion or Kshs2 billion more just because of political patronage."
