    "content": "He cannot abuse the privilege I gave him to second this Motion to attack me. Be it as it may, I have remained consistent. The country and people in my county know that I have remained consistent in calling for oversight of county resources. In fact, from 2013 to 2014, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki and I were being branded persons who want to kill devolution in this country. We were the first people who kept arguing that we need accountability. I remember so well even in functions where I could meet opposition leaders saying that this call for accountability is just a way of killing devolution. There is no argument that I have changed my mind because my colleagues have now joined us. Accountability is the main game across the country. So, I want to remind my colleague in the right context that on matters of accountability in the counties, I am on record in the public and in the HANSARD of this Senate that we must do our job. When it comes to national Government, it is not our primary mandate, it is our secondary mandate. However, our primary mandate is under Article (96); to oversight county governments."
