    "content": "for our children, offices and houses for their teachers, fencing the centres and do quality infrastructure. Last week we received information about several infrastructures in many institutions that have been destroyed by the floods because of poor foundations. Our MCAs need to understand what we are allocating these monies to. As a Senate, we are going to allocate them the budget but how much is being allocated to the functions that are supposed to be performed by the county governments? On the same note, we have programs that are supposed to be done in our counties, for they are now county government functions, but there are policies that are not allowing the counties to perform those functions properly. Therefore, the interaction will help the MCAs to know the policies that they are supposed to make. The other thing that we need to understand and make the MCAs understand is the issue of unfinished projects. Many counties have done projects that are not finished thus they are not helping the common mwananchi though they have been allocated a lot of money. They need to help us push for these projects to be finished for them to be of help. We also need this time to look at how we can develop all the wards within our counties for we have issues of concentration of facilities within some areas. You will get that one area has been allocated money by the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), county government and other organizations, such that you have some areas that are well developed and others that are under-developed. We need to look at how we can speak out on the issue of development. The Annual Legislative Summit will bring together the MCAs and the Members of Senate and it will be of great importance to this country, for the MCAs and the Senators will get time to talk and discuss on how they can oversight county development."
