    "content": "When Sen. Kembi-Gitura speaks, the whole county is thrown into disarray to audit what the governor has done. When the Senator of Bungoma speaks, the whole county is at a standstill. When the Senator of Nandi and everybody else here speaks against the ills committed in their counties, everything comes to a standstill. When Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. speaks, the county almost dissolves. When Sen. Mwazo speaks, the county listens. Therefore, they cannot consistently undermine the authority of people who have been given responsibilities to oversight funds. This spillage and pilferage at the county level is largely because there is no monitoring. There is no monitoring infrastructure whatsoever. Today, I was in a talk-show with a Member of the National Assembly who says that it is the failure of the Senate. The Senator cannot do all these analysis by himself; he needs a certain framework, a certain capacity to monitor and budget track. It is about budget tracking. It is about looking at how contracts are awarded. It is about looking at how payments are made. Today Gov. Munya blamed the entire Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS). Probably, if we were there, we would have said we have detected and deterred public theft. It is about looking at how payments are made. Corruption is happening everywhere in this country in both CORD and Jubilee counties. Sen. Wetangula, pronounce yourself on corruption in CORD counties. People are pillaging a Kshs1 billion out of Kshs4 billion allocated to them. That is almost 25 per cent."
