    "content": "As the money goes to the counties, it is indeed important for the public to know that it is actually Kshs378.1 billion that is being taken to the counties and the counties must demonstrate what they are using that money for. Their responsibility as far as healthcare is concerned is key. If you go to hospitals in my own county of Trans Nzoia, there are no roads and yet the county is getting almost Kshs6 billion. We are calling upon the Governor plus the Executive to pull up their socks. When you go to the grassroots, the only tangible projects are done by the National Government Development Constituencies Fund (NG-CDF). The money allocated to counties has nothing to show for it. It is, indeed, important that they be accountable. I have seen the ranking of governors. My Governor has continuously been ranked at the bottom. He is doing his second term and I expect him to improve. But, instead, he is worsening. So, I am telling him to wake up. It is the responsibility of the county assemblies to oversee the counties. It is not the responsibility of senators. Senators are just there to propagate their interests."
