    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders because they have brought the House in order after they consulted. I am sure the Committee will now do its work. As the Senate Minority Leader said, we will be going to a very serious campaign in 2017. With these billboards, governors have already started campaigning for themselves. However, we need to sensitise Kenyans to understand what has been happening in the counties. As we celebrate the third year of devolution, this Committee will have an opportunity to analyse reports from the counties. I hope Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale will support them. This committee is critical in the Senate, especially when the term of the Transition Authority (TA) has come to an end. We need to see them taking care of counties' assets and identify where they are. The Auditor General must ensure that every county has an inventory of their assets and liabilities. The other time we saw governors pushing for more resources to be develoved to counties. They were even calling for a referendum. When they put a lot of pressure on the national Government over this, issue we got worried. They know well that it is the Office of the Controller of Budget that determines the money to be allocated to each county and not them. I beg to support."
