    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I am referring to Article 216. I totally agree with Hon. Jakoyo that counties have been allocated monies. Why should the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) come and ask for more money to be given to them without giving us a report on how the three years allocation has been spent? It is very sad that counties misappropriate these funds and when they are requested to appear before the Senate we see cat games. This is the case and yet not even a single governor has been arraigned in court on matters related to corruption. It is a mockery, as Hon. Jakoyo has just said that in the Senate, a committee which has been bestowed that responsibility and given mandate committed that issue to the Committee of the whole House. It discussed a certain governor, of course, with the fear that a few of its members would be compromised to give a false verdict. The new Chairperson has a huge task ahead of her. But I also do not agree with what the Leader of the Minority Party has said. Article 203(1)(i) of the Constitution, regarding equitable share and other financial laws, is specific on how this should be done. It states: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
