    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was very surprised when I heard the Leader of the Majority Party mention that Kitui County Government is the second-highest contributor to the Council of County Governors (CoG) kitty, at Kshs48 million. The highest contributor is the Turkana County Government. The counties that are far behind in development are the ones that have contributed the most amounts. Since this House has the power to appropriate money, we have to make sure that there are laws in place to direct how that money is used. Hon. Speaker, I am sure you have been to Kitui. When you were a magistrate those many years when we were young, you were based at Machakos and you visited Kitui. People walk for about 10 kilometres to get water. It is the same thing in Turkana. I am surprised that our Governor would spend Kshs48 million on the CoG Secretariat. Our friend whom I respect very much, Hon. Mwiti, we cannot go to celebrate corruption when people are perishing in poverty and the county assemblies have not approved that expenditure."
