    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to add my voice to this Petition that is before the House this afternoon. I thank the MCAs and the Senator for Vihiga County who have ably presented the Petition this afternoon. As many colleagues have said, this is the fourth year since we started devolution in this country. A number of the county assemblies were not active before in airing the issues of the counties. Many at times, we said, these are more or less an appendage of the executive. However, a number of them are now coming up from the deep slumber which they were in from the first to the third year. I appreciate the efforts that have been made. It is not a secret that the governors are out to loot funds from the public coffers entrusted to them from the time they were elected. Many a times, when I think critically about the Council of Governors (CoG), I find that they act more or less like a trade union. Trade union members normally come to the aid of their members when things go wrong. I understand that all counties contribute towards litigation and bailing out governors who The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
