    "content": "County governments are misusing funds. We are watching and looking at you knowing that those leadership positions will not last forever. We are coming for you. We will support the institutions that are not working and make sure they work. If any county government or governor is misusing these funds for their personal interests, we will just name and shame them. You will find someone has built a mansion worth billions of shillings using these grants, only to realise that the money is coming from these conditional grants. Grants are given for free by partners or donors. Even if county governments utilise these grants, it is just a small fraction of the money. I have personally seen many elected leaders misusing these grants. I call upon Kenyans who will vote this year to sack those corrupt leaders who misuse grants that come to county governments. This money belongs to the Kenyans. I urge Kenyans to choose their leaders wisely. We want able leaders who will put this money into right use. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we see people making huge profits and interests out of this money. We elect poor people who come to this Parliament or those offices and become rich within short time. Within a month, they get billions of shillings. Some have never seen billions and when they get it, they misuse it. I call upon the relevant institutions to do their work. I know we impeach governors here, but if these institutions do not do their work, we will need to introduce a Motion to impeach Members of Parliament (MPs) and county government officers who misuse these grants. This money is not meant for their personal or family use. When a development partner identifies any issue in a county, they donate these funds."
