    "content": "(MCAs) teeth to bit. As we speak, this is the last term of our Parliament and county assemblies. It is unethical that there is nobody looking at the governors’ expenditure as we end this term. I thank Parliament for capping the use of money by governors in the last three months towards elections. As at now, there is nobody supervising the expenditure of most governors. The Senate amendments have come at a time when we are requesting keen observations on the expenditure of county governments. I support the Budget and Appropriations Committee wholeheartedly. In future, there should be proper policies for identifying and awarding projects. As I end, and as other people who talked before me have said, it is pathetic that governors and Senators are encroaching on laws which do not concern them at all. It is only last week when I saw my Governor with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Education, Science and Education at a site in Nyandarua where a university will be built. It is clearly known that education is a function of the national Government. As Members of Parliament from Nyandarua County, we sat and agreed on various aspects about that university but we have not agreed on the site where it would be built. We were shocked to see the governor taking the CS to that site."
