    "content": "Failure to adhere to the procurement laws is becoming obvious in all the county governments. We must use this to ensure that we give teeth or powers to the Senate Committee in charge of Finance, which oversees expenditure of county governments, so that they can scrutinise such expenditures in detail and take action. Unfortunately, time and again, governors have declined to honour summonses by the Senate. A governor simply does not turn up and nothing happens. If he turns up, he is asked tough questions, accompanied by drama on television, but nothing happens. We must put in place laws that make culpable governors take responsibility. They are the chief executive officers of the counties. They must be responsible for the expenditures of the money. They must be prepared. We must bring this into law, commitments that will hold them liable for misappropriation or poor management of public funds."
