    "content": "Another important issue that I am sure many Senators will speak to is that in giving the counties Kshs335 billion that we are talking about, we will not be giving governors a blank cheque to play with the money in the manner they wish, particularly in matters of accountability. As Members of the Committee on Finance and Budget, we have urged Members of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) to speed up their audits and oversight role, so that we do not continuously look at expenditure in a manner of postmortem of what died three or four years ago. If that was the case, this House would be able, within record time, to arrest situations where money is being pilfered like what happened in Samburu County and many other counties. As we fight to give more money to the counties, the threshold, levels and expectations of accountability must go with it.
