    "content": "It is an opportunity for us to have candid conversations. I hope that the sessions will be interactive. Before we go to those sessions, there is some preparatory work that has been done. I am glad we have a steering Committee. When we come back, it will be very clear to every Senator what the impact of that Summit will have been. This will also apply to the thousands of MCAs out there, who are the basic unit and defenders of devolution. Madam Temporary Speaker, as Sen. Wetangula has said, it will be good for us to think beyond just our MCAs and look at other counties and learn the challenges they face. Looking at the audit reports that are coming out, there is a lot of theft and corruption. This is because the primary oversight function by county assemblies has not been as strong as envisaged in our Constitution. If we do not defend and support them to do the primary work, a lot of our secondary level oversight will be in vain."
