    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First is to congratulate the Committee for the recommendations. However, there are two entities that I propose that they need to be brought in because they are culpable to the mess in the counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in 2015, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) made a recommendation that governors should build their own houses, purportedly to save on the housing allowance. For me, that somehow gave the leeway for governors to commence construction of very expensive houses. If you compare the amount of money that has been expended in building these houses vis-a-vis the so-called savings in terms of their allowances, there is no connection. I see corruption. Therefore, the SRC should either revisit that resolution or be made accountable since it gave a leeway to governors to do this. Secondly, we have engineers who ought to be punished. Most of these houses are usually built with Bill of Quantities (BQ) obtained from the Ministry of Transport, 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."
