    "content": "There are many threats from governors, especially those who are incumbent and who own political parties. That they are using the money that we are giving here, money that belongs to our people for political campaigns. If a governor wants money for their political activities, they should fundraise. The law allows candidates to fund raise. The IEBC and other agencies must be on the look out on misuse and abuse of public resources for the campaigns. Let our children get bursary and medicine. As I conclude, when you go to many hospitals, there are no drugs and the ambulances are grounded. It is like during campaign season, the governors have given the county employees memos to leave their offices to go and campaign for them. During nominations, some of the employees within county governments were Presiding Officers and Returning Officers yet there is no medicine in hospital. There are no roads and somebody somewhere is using resources. They must be flagged out.How can you take a county vehicle, put the fuel card at a petrol station and use that vehicle to campaign? When I saw that governor from North Eastern branding 103 vehicles including those that belong to the county assembly, I was shocked. We cannot sit and allow this to happen. If the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are functional, they should ensure that such governors are held accountable and banned from running for any office."
