"content": "In a democratic setting and an open society, such documents are meant to be widely circulated. I am concerned that serious read about corruption no longer occupies headlines. There is this very interesting creature called the social media or TikTok and the others that have occupied the imagination of many people. Many people out there think that is news. I want to appeal to the Fourth Estate to open up this report and be the medium through which Kenyans will access information and standing about public officials and people they vote for. If you find a prospective public official or a Government and its leadership mentioned in this report, it is also your duty as a voter or as a Kenyan to do your bit and ensure that you do not a quince or permit that person to continue holding or access public office. This is a serious report that has mentioned people and Governments adversely. Those who have been mentioned adversely should not be permitted through the ballot to come to office. If we permit them to come to office then, again we will be leaving to this House and other institutions the responsibility when, it is the responsibility of each and all of us to do what is right by voting people who are good and who will not perpetuate and continue with acts of corruption. I want to wrap it up by mentioning what Sen. Omogeni said. He encouraged that we should not give up on corruption. This document is a record of what this House has done about the financial statements that were given out for the epoch mention in them by the Auditor-General. The records are there. They may not be implemented today. Others may not have been implemented yesterday but they are there. Administrations come and go. I hope that the future administrations or even the current one will have some reports and documents upon which to commence enforcement of law. I hope by reading what we have written, debated and will adopt when the time for adoption comes, the governors, the public official mentioned here will reflect on their tenure and change."
