    "content": "You are being punished as an MCA because of opposing or oversighting the governor. That is very unfair because the actual people who are suffering are the common wananchi in your ward. So, this Bill is going to ensure that the assembly is independent to conduct oversight without fear and that their wards will not be denied development because of their stand. You will find MCAs oversighting governors in a very strong manner. They will not be blackmailed. To me, that is positive, and we are going to have stronger institutions at the grassroots level. Secondly, for a long time, the way budgets at the county have been prepared in a manner that is not coherent, that hides information, and that does not indicate, for instance, which ward is going to benefit from the programmes of a county. For instance, I come from Murang’a County and we have about 35 wards. The people of Kambiti Ward in Maragua Constituency; the people of Kiguna Ward in Kigumo Constituency; residents of Kiru in Mathioya; Muguru in Kangema; Wangu Ward in Kiharu; Muruka in Kandara; and Kihumbu-ini or Kahumbu or Kimorori-Wempa"
