    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, nursery schools have been ignored due to lack of procedures. Whenever they attempt to build nursery schools, very interesting things take place. For example, they buy plastic chairs for children at exorbitant rates. Instead of the actual average cost of between Kshs180 to Kshs250 per chair, depending on where you buy them from, they are spending Kshs649 per chair. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale chaired the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee and can attest to that. Whenever we raise such issues, the county executives go round complaining that the Senators are oppressing them because they do not want development. We know that oversight is our duty under Article 96 (3). Our work will, therefore, be easier if we have statutory instruments in the counties. Unfortunately, some county assemblies have gone to sleep. Some MCAs almost ‘worship’ the governors, instead of putting them on their toes to do what is required in their wards. That is a tragedy; we must enable them to have the teeth and autonomy to perform. I beg to support."
