    "content": "Finally, before I cede ground to other colleagues, when we summoned the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), I sat where you are sitting now. The EACC came and reported that they had only succeeded in convicting somebody who took a bribe of Kshs20,000. That is like 200 dollars. They have only succeeded in convicting someone who offered a bribe of Kshs20,000, but people who have looted in county governments walk scot free. They walk to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) the way they want because they have manipulated it. EACC carries out an ordinary morning raid, seizes documents and after some time, headlines are written. We know, our media is good at giving juicy headlines. They report how they have arrested Governor so and so with a Kshs200 millions case. After some time, it fizzles out. EACC must tell us whether they are in bed with Governors or not; whether they are fighting corruption or aiding it. They could be aiding corruption or doing laundry. They could be doing “laundry” that considering there was someone in this country who was doing that laundry business. There has been somebody in this country doing “laundry” business but we do not want to mention names. However, under Kenya Kwanza, that laundry service and the washing machines will be closed down. We will not allow any Governor to go scot free including Hon. Governor Otichillo. If he has misappropriated funds, he must be taken to court. We cannot allow that."
