    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think what I was going to say has been said by the Senate Minority leader. We as a Senate - these petitions tell that we are not serious. We are not doing our work as it is supposed to be done. We must make sure that this money is spent properly. If I can read wisely, the indication from the public is that we are now being challenged through the Speaker, that the Members of this House have almost abdicated their responsibilities because the Senate does not say anything about any governor here. We know there are problems but we tend to keep on playing safe. You cannot have your cake and eat it. You either represent the county governments, become their controller or not. Something must be done immediately. Therefore, I would like to support the people who have already petitioned this House. Our people understand their role in the democratic institutions, while we are nursing the problems. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are problems in every county government today. However, none of us is capable of explaining what these problems are. We are waiting for the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) to take decisions yet they have no power"
