    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join my colleagues in welcoming the delegation from Mandera County. As the Mandera CASB tours Parliament to understand the workings of the PSC, I would like to advise them to ensure that Mandera County Assembly is properly facilitated to carry out its oversight role. It is a fact that the kind of revenue allocated to the counties from the national Government is so enormous. If properly utilized, it can change the lives of the people of Mandera. As has been the case in most counties in the last Parliament, many broke governors went on a spending spree without following the Public Procurement and Disposal Act and the PFM Act. I believe whatever we have seen and heard from other counties with regard to pending bills, Mandera County is not in that list. The only way to bring sanity is to have a strong assembly that will be keen to discharge its mandate, oversight the manner in which public finances are being spent there and ensure proper adherence to the law. What I am simply advising them is that they have a duty to ensure that the county Government of Mandera does not illegally borrow from Mandera by giving or dishing out contracts to the people of Mandera when they cannot afford to pay them hence denying the economy of Mandera the very liquid cash that is required to circulate there and make people happy and enjoy their lives."
