    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Statement has revealed the fears of the Senators on how the governors have been living large and how they have been evading responsibilities. As the other Members have said, this is what we need to interrogate clearly. When I look at the table on the expenditure - before I mention what my county has contributed for this Council of Governors - in the first year, they said they did not purchase any vehicle. However, there was an expenditure of Kshs 25million on fuel. The question is whose vehicle was fueled. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they talk of personnel salaries and allowances. The expenditure for that vote alone is huge. We need to be told how many officers have been employed. Does it mean a staff from every county government giving a total of about 47? We need to know if there are officers seconded by every county to work in the Council of Governor’s office. I read in the second page where they sated that the Council plays a coordinating and facilitating role amongst the 47 county governments on matters of policy, legislation and administrative functions among others. I thought the Senate is tasked with legislation."
