    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I was saying that I appeal to Kenyans to elect women and PWDs to those positions if men fail to show up. Accountability in our counties is key. We need to see public funds meant for development being used for the purpose. They should not be diverted to people’s pockets. Where cases of corruption are reported, governors should be held accountable. I appeal to both sides of the House that there should be no sacred cows. Any governor, regardless of whether they were elected by the party forming the Government or the Opposition, implicated in corruption cases must be held responsible. I urge institutions charged with the responsibility of making sure that people are accountable to take action against corrupt governors, members of the Executive or any other individuals. These committees should be vigilant. I saw the Senator for Kakamega in the House. He is popularly referred to as “Bullfighter”. I beseech Members of the CPAC and the CPISFC to borrow a leaf from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. They should be “bullfighters” and make sure they defend public funds. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am looking forward to effective oversight by the Senate. Senators who spoke before me stated that the second and third Senate did not do their work effectively. However, I believe that we are improving and given a chance we will do a better job. I thank you and support the Motion."
