    "content": "We are expecting that those who will be approved today will ensure that we have well-furnished offices to be able to oversee the activities of governors. A governor is given Kshs5 billion or Kshs8 billion. As a Senator, I am expected to ensure that money is spent properly by inspecting projects. I am also expected to assist the electorate understand what is going on in the country yet I am not facilitated to so. How do I go to Ndaragwa and other places and the salary I get is not even enough for me? Mr. Speaker, Sir, we should take this Senate seriously. Nobody is going to promote us if we cannot promote ourselves through the commissioners that we will approve today. Nobody will talk on our behalf. After all, we are politicians and we are expected to work. The Senate must facilitate us to do our work. As it is today, never should anybody lie to this Senate that a Senator is able to oversight a governor. They have no facilities to do so. We would like our commissioners, both from the National Assembly and the Senate, to take their work seriously and ensure that they empower this Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are naked. We cannot do anything yet we are supposed to oversight governors. It is a big dream for anybody here to think that you can oversight a governor who has Kshs5 billion yet you have nothing and you cannot even fuel your vehicle to go and oversight. So, we shall approve this list as it is. We pray to God that these commissioners will take their work seriously because if they do not, we will pray that whichever Senate that will be there does not approve them again. That is what I have to contribute for now."
