    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That will be next week. There is a slight and important point I wish to conclude. Every time we are in our counties, you hear governors and Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) telling Senators - this is important for County Public Accounts Committee - that the money received from the national Government is little. They say most these amounts go to recurrent expenditure. However, when you go to any ward in Kisii, Busia or Lelmok Ward in Nandi County, the question is that the money received in the county has been spent on recurrent expenditure; who is consuming this recurrent expenditure? How many people have been employed in the ward that is part and parcel of the expenditure referred to in the recurrent expenditure? There is none. The people say that nobody has been employed in the ward to serve in the county government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this recurrent expenditure that is a basis of complaints by governors must be demonstrated by indicating the citizens of the ward that are part and parcel of the recurrent expenditure enjoyed by the county staff."
