"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. Since Sen. Haji has proposed that we use as few as three minutes, I will be brief. I am happy to contribute to this Motion. My message to the new governors, and anybody else who has a responsibility to manage these funds is, first, to understand that this is one of the responsibilities of the Senators. I am particularly impressed that the county governments cannot get money without the approval of this Senate. This means that the Senate plays a critical role in ensuring that money is sent to the counties. I want everybody to listen because we have just come from an election. One of the main challenges that we got when we were out there campaigning is that some rogue governors created a narrative in the public domain that whenever Senators go to the counties they should be asked what they do. That story was particularly so alive in the minds of the people of Meru when we were campaigning."
