    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. With due respect and humility, allow me to welcome the Trans Nzoia County membership to Senate. I take this opportunity to remind them of their role as MCAs is. I do not have to over emphasize the aspect of oversight in the counties. It is their duty to ensure that whatever resources are taken to the counties are properly utilized for the good people of Trans-Nzoia, and any other county, for purposes of those MCAs that may be listening to this. MCAs, just like many other leaders, are people that run the risk of serious compromise where certain serious issues are before them. I advise them to completely resist this aspect of compromising them by the Executive whenever they are dispensing their mandate and doing their duties. From what I have gathered, county assembly members are being cheated by the governors that; in the event that they take a firm position on matters that touch on whatever the governor is doing, they risk losing development projects in their wards. I want to tell them that this is a lie, and ask them to look at the County Government Act Section 9 (2). The law prohibits them from becoming agents of implementing county government projects. For that matter, they should not get into that position. When you make yourself an agent of implementing county government projects, you will run away from that kind of compromise from the governors. Finally, they must also be in a position to know the timing of the CEC members that appear before them to ensure that such matters are scheduled for debate by them. They are made when there is good time. I know of a county last week where the deputy The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
