    "content": "Hon. Speaker, if there is any money that needs to be properly ring-fenced, it is NG-CDF. I do not want to conclude by mentioning the Senate and its oversight role on county funds. This time round, I plead with our brothers and sisters in the Senate to take their work more seriously. If it is lack of funds that make senators not to perform the function of overseeing, Hon. Speaker, as the Chairman of Parliamentary Service Commission, and we as a House, during the budget- making process, need to provide some money to the Senate to use in its oversight role on our counties. What is happening in counties is a shame. We cannot let it go on the way it is. We cannot have a simple clerk who earns less than Kshs200,000 in a county building hotels in two or three years. By the way, they are very poor. Most of them did not go to school to learn business. They even build hotels in their rural homes where there are no customers. You find someone putting up a hotel that should be built in Mombasa, Naivasha or Nairobi for domestic tourists. Someone puts up a huge hotel in his home like Waondo, in Suba North Constituency."
