    "content": "to be on contract from that time onwards. It only means that this money must have been put to use other than what it was intended for. In my county, I can cite several instances of misappropriation of funds. For instance, 10 boreholes were supposed to have been sunk in my constituency and money was given for sinking of those boreholes. The Governor, in his address on the state of the county, indicated that those projects had been done and were complete, whereas on the ground there was nothing at all. When we complained about that, the Governor had the guts to say that the three Members of Parliament in his county had no mandate whatsoever to question how he spends his money. I am tempted to invoke the words of the Leader of the Majority Party in the National Assembly, if I may be allowed, naniulize kama hiyo pesa --- I will not finish because this I might be out of order. So, when he said that Members of Parliament had no right to ask how money had been spent and only Senators could ask how that money had been spent, he missed the mark by a wide margin Again, a lot of money was set aside for constructing fish ponds in schools and nothing has been done. When a county government buys five dogs for Kshs3 million and the dogs even to date do not have a home--- They have been accommodated in a foster home at Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The county government bought dogs and did not know where to put them in the first place; it could not transport them from Nakuru to Nanyuki, and now they have to be accommodated in foster homes. This shows that, indeed, the priorities of county governments are upside down. Last year, the county government set aside Kshs30 million for an investment conference."
