    "content": "Governors are known for building hotels. I am not sure maybe Sen. Farhiya you can tell me. You are the auditor. The obsession with hotels, what is it? There must be something that is happening about hotels. Every governor who has stolen has a hotel somewhere. Those hotels are in counties other than theirs. It is a very clever way of hiding assets. Madam Temporary Speaker, while Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki professes that your Bill is going to end up nowhere, it is because the people who have stolen are going to fight you left, right, centre, north, and south. They do not want to account. There is a process of accounting. However, I think we are doing this the other way round. Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, I hope the current Government will consider you for an executive position. They have been promising you many things. I hope you can set a framework at the beginning. When you start in government and the day you take oath as President and if you are chosen as Deputy President. That day you take oath when you go to a luncheon in State House, you start then. You do not start later when they have stolen and you do not know what to do. Madam Temporary Speaker, eventually these people are your friends and allies. Even this Government has found itself in awkward positions. By the time the Government want to fight corruption, it realises its relatives are involved. This is good although it is coming at the tail end. It should have come at the beginning. The true fight against corruption is to have this law in place to ensure that people can account for their wealth in public service. Public service is not the place to become billionaires. If you want to be a billionaire, open a shop. Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki knows what to do when you open a law firm. You bill your clients as you please. Those who cannot pay, you tell them the next door has another lawyer. I support. Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you."
