    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Petition. This Petition is a reflection of the despondence amongst citizens because they feel that nothing is being done when it comes to corruption and nepotism. The petitioners brought this Petition here because the county assemblies are not playing their oversight role and the citizens feel that the Senate can be of help. There is evidence that there is corruption in the counties. Many Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) have acquired a number of vehicles in a span of two years and people can tell that they have acquired them through the acts of corruption but they cannot do anything. People are employing their own cronies and the people cannot do anything about it. The Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments Committee told us that Taita-Taveta County was given more than Kshs200 million. Why did the Office of the Controller of Budget (CoB) release such an amount of money? This Petition is well placed. We can take it up and address the generic issues across the counties."
