    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate, together with my colleagues here, the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) from Vihiga. I would also like to congratulate the Senator for Vihiga, Sen. Khaniri, for prosecuting this matter. It is clear to the country why the governors fought tooth and nail - they spent millions of taxpayers’ money in court to fight the “Sang Bill” so that they could have the independence and freedom to plunder. After they have filled their bellies with the loot, they have now grown muscles to box and beat up Senators in cahoots with goons. We saw this. I want to say sorry to our colleague, the “bullfighter”, because he had to endure such an embarrassing scenario when he was being attacked in a funeral for saying the truth. The truth is that this is repeated in so many counties. The saddest thing is that we are just about to send to counties almost Kshs300 billion this financial year. We have done this for several years back. At the end of our five year-term, we will have sent to counties more than Kshs1.5 trillion. If you ask anybody what they can see in the counties worth that amount, you cannot see anything. The only thing you can see is governors who drive guzzlers and living in mansions. There are contractors and other collaborators who have built bigger mansions. This are the images that you see at the county level. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
