"content": "It is drama when you attend some of the national functions like Mashujaa day celebration and you have a governor there. You literally think that the Head of State may be visiting your constituency like the case of Kakamega. You cannot quite tell. There is confusion. The county commissioner and deputy county commissioners are also confused; they do not know how to treat these people. I am saying this because the Senate should seize the opportunity to deal with these gaps. There are gaps that were created because when we were doing these roles back in 2010 and 2011, there was a little haggling between the Party of National Unity and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) for good reasons, but we are through with that phase. I hope the Senate can seize the opportunity and bring sanity into this unit. If we do not do it, we will have failed what we aspire to do. More specifically, we now have the county governments as employment bureaus. All that they do is to employ people. It is not bad when our people get employed but what was the intention? The intention was for them to create employment opportunities within the counties by making sure that we have industries that are functioning but all they do is promise every other"
