    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, certain small privileges are important at a certain age. The conduct of the Chairman of the CRA, Mr. Cheserem, is below what we expect out of a person of that kind of experience and respect in this country; especially taking note of the problems that county assemblies have had in the last few months. For example, Migori County has its assembly nearly totally grounded, especially because of the mischief of the governor controlling funds. Thanks to this House because we are reviewing the law that regulates how money will be handled at that level. It is an important opportunity to tell his and his cohorts that their role is advisory; totally advisory to this Senate. The decision is for the Senate and not them. However, I blame the Executive for having planted horns on the Cheserem Commission and IBEC. Let me remind them that they have are wax horns and not strong horns. We will uproot all of them with the powers of this House. Migori County now has an extra Kshs74 million for the county assembly. I think that it will go a long way to try and alleviate the problem that, that county has had at that level. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
