    "content": "this House will process in the next one or two years. There are also provisions relating to corruption. Madam Deputy Speaker, this House has found itself in an embarrassing position. When I was in the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee, we used to refuse to listen to governors who had been asked to step out of office. It is now three years since some governors were asked to step out of office. For example, the governor of Samburu has been running Samburu from “wherever”. He has not been allowed to go back to the office for almost three years. Charges have been pressed against him and the matters are in court, but they are taking forever. Madam Deputy Speaker, I hope that of the various legislations that Parliament will need to pass, we will fast-track that one that has to do with economic crimes. I know other speakers have said that the Constitution already has sufficient safeguards to ensure that we deal with corruption in this Republic, but it does no harm to add greater clarity to what the Constitution already has."
