    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, it is very important to note that the discussion in the House is trying to suggest that there is a lot of rot in the counties. Going by what I have heard and what Senators have discussed, it leaves a lot to be desired. We should, therefore, come up with an answer to these problems. Without that, we will leave our counties to people who have created a lot of money for themselves as we leave office next year, We hear from the Auditor-General that some people have even built houses worth Kshs300 million. Is it that they will live there forever? It is like they will because they know how to amass, misappropriate and where to hide the money. So, those committees which were being suggested here should be formed tomorrow, so that by the time we get to June, we will have known who has done what. We have also heard governors who have bought beds worth Kshs1 million. It is not humanly possible for someone to do so. Some of them have bought dogs. I do not know for what reason. If this Committee could be formed, it would be a wake-up call to many counties. I support and we should do it very quickly because we are living in a very strange world. These governors have opened different accounts and are even collecting money from various tax departments and depositing it in their accounts. So, the Committee should investigate and come up with a solution."
