"content": "If you go behind our county referral hospital, the last time we visited, as a Committee chaired by Sen. Mandago, we found a project that was abandoned. It was abandoned as soon as the new governor took office after the death of the late Nyagarama. We had pumped in millions of shillings and then the project was abandoned. We are the people's representatives; we must get a solution to this problem. Sen. Methu, you are a bright young man. We cannot allow it. Some of the money thrown into uncompleted projects is money gotten from donors. World Bank is giving us money that we send to counties to do nothing or you find that people are asking for bribes. Like now, we have support to do roads in Keroka, our second largest town. The money available to us is Kshs204 million. People who want to do that projects are now falling over themselves, talking to various entrepreneurs. It has even moved up from 10 per cent. People are now told “give 20 per cent before we give you a tender,” yet this is money that your taxes and mine will be used to repay. It is not free money. When we get that money, it must transform the quality of life that the people of Nyamira are living today for the better. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), where I served for five years, must wake up. If you talk to all the Senators, no governor fears the EACC anymore. They are receiving bribes left, centre and right."

Omogeni, the pioneer and the architect of the anti-corruption laws and instruments and institutions, that the EACC has withdrawn their officers from Senate committee sittings. For the last three weeks, the EACC officer who used to sit in the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) has been withdrawn without an explanation, the same thing for the County Public Investments Committee and Special Funds (CPICSF). I inform Sen. Omogeni that something is wrong with that institution you so proudly established and was proudly part of the team that set it up. We have set a meeting with the leadership of the EACC to explain why their officers have been withdrawn from the proceedings of the Senate."

"content": "We should summon EACC to appear before us. We tell the country whether we are serious in the fight against corruption, or whether we have allowed the prophecy that was given by Prof. P.L.O. Lumumba to come to reality. If most of you can remember, the moment we created devolved units, he said, if we are not careful as a country, we will devolve corruption. Why for God's sake would EACC withdraw an officer from a watchdog body? I was the chair when I served as a member of the advisory board. One of the sources of getting information on corruption activities was reports of the PAC of Parliament. I am sure if Bishop Oginde and the CEO took time to come to Parliament to sit before the committee that is chaired by Sen. Kajwang’, they will be shocked. If they just sit through and listen to the queries raised by the Auditor General and the management responses from our county government, then look at the amount of money that this country is losing, they will have sleepless nights. There are a lot of almost criminal and murderous activities that are taking place in our counties. I fully support this Motion and hope that when we resume tomorrow, we must agree that issues dealing with the pending bills is a cancer that we must diagnose and deal with once and for all, as Senators. I support."
