    "content": "Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) should be on the lookout. We want to see action being taken from EACC and from DCI on governors who are engaged in malpractices, corruption, diversion of money that is meant to cover development projects but is diverted for campaigns, As I conclude, we passed this Third Allocation Formula under very stressful circumstances. If there is a time I have spent in this House that was most agonising, it is when we debated this Third Revenue Allocation Formula. That was the time I was crying that my friend from Homabay, Sen. M. Kajwang’ had abandoned the people of Nyamira. I thank God that finally we were able to come together and agree that none of the counties should lose money. I thank the Senators who stood by me and the people of Nyamira, including Sen. Farhiya in ensuring that my county did not lose a whooping Kshs600 million, which I was going to lose. Today, I am speaking as a happy person that my County of Nyamira was able to fight very hard through their Senator here, and ensure that Kshs600 million was retained by the County of Nyamira. The only request that I am making to my Governor, is that this should translate to some services and development projects that are tangible on the ground. I support."
