    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that your future is bright. I can see it from where I stand. Kindly add me one minute. We have an amendment of the principal Act by the introduction of Clause 54B (1) which states that: “Subject to sub-section 54(A)(5)(b), a County Government Contracting Authority shall seek and obtain the approval from the county assembly where no national government support measures are required for the project prior to the execution of a project agreement at the county level, the contracting authority”. The Deputy Senate Majority Leader raised a serious issue regarding the medical situation in Isiolo County. It is sad and painful that some of our Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) have been used to rubberstamp things that contravene the law, public interest and morality. As we give this power to our MCAs across the 47 counties, I hope that they will take it in their stride and bring accountability before a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is signed or a decision is made or proposal is brought. I hope that this will bring to an end a situation where governors walk around in hotels and take tea and mandazi then just decide to sign an MOU which they take back home and shove down the throats of citizens at the grass root level. I support."
