    "content": "Parliament is supposed to legislate. Under Article 95(4)(c) of the Constitution, Parliament is supposed to oversee the expenditure of the national revenue and ensure that this money is put to proper use. Parliament, through legislation, is supposed to put measures in place to control spending in the county governments. After the last general election, there were supremacy wars between the Senate and the National Assembly. This made the Senate not to put in place measures to control expenditure of monies sent to the counties. For example, more than 70 cent of the money allocated to Vihiga County is spent on salaries. When we came up with this Constitution, we said that we wanted only a few people to be employed. We wanted the monies going to the counties to be used to create opportunities for as many people as possible.
