"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will add me a minute or so, because Sen. Cherargei was not on a point of order, but on a point of argument. We all know Granton Samboja from the time of Citizen Radio . He is a not a budding artist; he is a seasoned artist. In fact, the reason he was elected is because he was very popular with Anguo FM, which broadcasts in the Taita language. Therefore, right now, he needs to realise that he should not continue deejaying, but be seriously serving the people of Taita-Taveta County. May he play that music in development; in terms of how he is supposed to serve his people. This is because much as these Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), were not able to fully argue their case and meet the threshold, I think they have legitimate concerns. They need to go back and clean their house, and ensure that this development money, Kshs1.2 billion---. We are arguing here at the Senate about our Oversight Fund. If we were to get that kind of allocation, we would be all over trying to ensure that we have more accountability. The roads, hospitals, market places and Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres all require a very dedicated governor. Even people with disabilities require to be attended to. It does not mean that because he plays music on Sundays, it has resulted in ensuring that all that has happened. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude by saying - I have said here before - that devolution is a revolution. However, maybe some people were not ready to be governors. Maybe they were also equally surprised that they actually made it."
