    "content": "I wish to plead with the members of county assembly (MCAs) in In Nakuru County. About 47 sitting MCAs out of 55 were thrown out by a new crop of aspiring MCAs during the just concluded primaries. I ask them to take their responsibilities, as prescribed by law, seriously. The responsibilities of the Senate include overseeing the operations of county governments. An additional Kshs7.9 billion was allocated to Nakuru County for road maintenance. Initially, the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) and the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) were almost removed. I thank this House for deeming it fit to have the two authorities managed by the national Government. They are improving our roads within the local areas. We are asking the county assembly to be vigilant on the way the money that has been given to the county is being spent. They should see that the additional money that has been given to that county for road maintenance is used for road maintenance. On the grants for medical equipment, many questions are being asked including about the containers that are still lying in Mombasa. It is, therefore, important for the national Government to ensure that as we give conditional grants to county governments, we improve our counties. With those few remarks, I support."
