    "content": "If the governors oversee the running of the counties, it is surprising that they can rent an office in Nairobi, the capital City of Kenya. They have offices in Nairobi yet the Constitution clearly states that Senators represent counties. Therefore, if there is anything that governors may require in Nairobi, for instance, a place to sit, a chair or drinking water, their first stop-over would be the office of their Senator who is their representative. However, that is not the case. There is a building called Delta House where all governors have offices. Similarly, the other day we looked at the list which shows county contributions to the Council of Governors’ Fund and I discovered that my county has donated Kshs19 million for entertainment so far. Turkana County which has many problems and everybody is praying for has donated Kshs85 million. They are my neighbours. We have peculiar problems. Vihiga County has contributed over Kshs40 million. This is surprising. Similarly, Kakamega County has contributed Kshs46 million. We must address this. We must put it in black and white. It does not matter whether or not you come back as a Senator next year. We must anchor this in law so that the people of Kenya can enjoy the fruits of devolution."
