    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to join you in welcoming the various delegations and particularly the delegation from Bungoma County. I also thank you profusely for the programme that you put in place to build capacity of our county assemblies. I remind them that they have an important role to play in ensuring that devolution works and benefits the people of Kenya. The role of oversight is important besides representation and legislation. I put emphasis on oversight. The reports that are getting to us in the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee from the counties are disheartening. The reports we read in the Press about wheelbarrows costing millions of shillings, building of gates costing millions of shillings and buying of curtains are disheartening. This is not what devolution was meant for. It is the responsibility of our county assemblies to ensure that these malpractices do not continue. We thank you and welcome you to the Senate."
