    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make a contribution to this very important Petition. I know Eldoret for some time because I was there for about 12years when I was teaching in Moi University. The County Government of Uasin Gishu has a lot of land that they can develop important facilities for their county. When I heard that they intended to buy the National Bank building, I was shocked. This was the same building we wanted to hire to use to teach some university courses during our sessions at the Town Campus. However, when we consulted the public health people, they had condemned the building. I was shocked that the county government wanted to buy that particular building at a cost of around Kshs570 million, which is a waste of public money. As the Senate of the Republic of Kenya, which is entitled by the Constitution to protect our counties, we must stand. This is so that we protect our counties against governors who would do anything possible to enrich themselves, instead of enriching the counties. Such acts should be rejected by the Senate in the strongest terms possible because it is a waste of public funds. I support the Statement that the county government should not purchase this building."
