    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join you and my colleagues in welcoming the two committees from the two counties. Sen. Orengo has confirmed that the two committees are rated highly. As we congratulate them, we also need to remind them that there are interesting scenarios in their counties and Kenya at large. Recently, funds were submitted to the Council of Governors (CoGs) from the counties. Vihiga County, which is a small county and we know how much it gets, was among the counties that submitted a lot of money for free, to be wasted on mandazi here in Nairobi in a building owned by foreigners. We want the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) to be more thorough than they are today, because they are key pillars of devolution on the ground. As Members of the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee (CPAIC) of the Senate, we wonder whether the chair of a similar committee in your county assembly sees what we are seeing. There should be concerted efforts from the Senate and the county assemblies to make sure that things move right. I want to encourage them to work hard. I know that the challenges are immense, but together, we can move forward."
