    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this amendment. Just before I do that, allow me to take a minute to also send condolences, on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Bumula, to the family of our hero, Kenneth Stanley Njindo Matiba, who passed on. His death reminds us that, indeed, democracy is painful. He is a man who put his life forward to ensure that we enjoy the democratic space that some of us enjoy today. Having won my seat as an independent Member of Parliament, I am sure it was part of the contribution of this great man whom Kenya is mourning today. So, I send my condolences to the family and to the entire nation. I wish to support this Motion. Every time, Hon. Members stand up to condemn governors and their teams for having not utilised money sufficiently. Every time, we make the mistake of comparing a five-year government with a 50-year Government. In my assessment, people in the villages are feeling things that county governments have done. For the five years county governments have been around, we can really appreciate them. If they had this kind of opportunity, they could have had an avenue to discuss with private organisations, which are doing well."
