"content": "We shall demonstrate, at the opportune time, how the Governor has used her sister and brother to swindle the Government money. Just a cursory look at it, Kshs78 million going to an individual in the name of prepayments, where her sister would hold eight imprests in one day. We shall demonstrate that when we will be required to call evidence. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we shall also urge you, that the Governor in front of you is not a first-time offender. Indeed, she is a repeat offender who does not require of deserve the favours of this court. I will also reiterate the role of Senate as far as the devolution is concerned. Honourable Senate, you spend a whole lot of time to pass budgets for the interest of counties and devolution, only for it to be placed at the disposal of sisters or relatives for purposes of plunder. You have a sword and you are the custodian of devolution. You cannot lie down for long. You will spare the rod and the child will be spoilt. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we shall be asking you to crack the whip against the Governor for the interest of Meru. You will be faced with two competing interests. The first is for devolution to work in Meru for the interest of Meru and secondly, to help the Governor save her private job. The good thing is that you will be confronted with public interest against her private interests. Kindly, save the Governor, sorry save Meru at the expense of saving the Governor. My apologies Mr. Speaker, Sir."
