    "content": "Kenyans with too much money that they do not know what to do with it, so they do not care whether there is inflation because they will afford. If you bring inflation to high levels, they will still afford. But as they afford the cost of living, there are those who cannot put food on the table; they struggle day in, day out. They cannot have a one square meal a day. I would have understood if the Government had totally stopped corruption. Madam Temporary Speaker, this House wants to stop corruption. This House is constitutionally charged with the responsibility of oversight. We give over Kshs300 billion to the county governments and yet we cannot afford even Kshs1 billion for oversight. Governors will take this money as and when they wish; they will loot it the way they want and yet there is no oversight. Nobody should lie to Kenyans that we oversight; we do not, because we are not facilitated. We do not want to talk about it because we do not want Kenyans to know what is happening. It is better to tell Kenyans the truth; that the Senate that is supposed to oversight governors has not been facilitated to do its oversight role. We do not get even a single shilling for oversight and we are expected to oversight counties. We are expected to use our salaries to go and oversight. This is impossible because our salaries can only do oversight for a day or two. What happens to the other days?"
