    "content": "In the case of Kakamega County, one of the reasons why the Governor of Kakamega has refused to appear before the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) is because there is an audit query that says that he has ten accounts operated by signatories who are not employees of the County Government of Kakamega. It is that primitive. We must be alive to the fact that the drafters of the Constitution also let us down in Article 96 because even our intervention, our entry point, in over sighting the revenue collected is by way of interpreting Article 96(1). Otherwise, Article 96(2) gives the impression that we are only supposed to oversight monies that come from the national Government. It is unfortunate that the drafters of the Constitution angled it in that particular way. I am cock-sure that in the coming days, we shall be amending this Constitution; these are some of the areas that we are supposed to make extremely clear if the Senate is going to play its role of protecting counties and county governments. I beg to support the Petition."
