    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the people of Kenya are happy that we have devolution. However, they are also frustrated that we are not providing the necessary oversight to ensure that there is proper accountability. With the pilferages and corruption that is going on in the counties, all fingers are pointed towards this House. I have had this discussion with the Senate Minority Leader and one of the greatest assignment that we must do is to have a two day retreat soon as a House to work out a proper framework and mechanism of implementing Article 96 in a manner that is effective and responsive to the challenges that the people of Kenya are going through in so far as corruption and pilferage of public resources in the counties is concerned. If we crack that part, notwithstanding the resources that we are given for that responsibility, if we can demonstrate that we can innovatively come up with ways of implementing that oversight responsibility as a House, we will have succeeded."
