"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are most obliged. Our case is very simple. It is a case of a Deputy Governor who decides to use his office for personal gain. It is a case of a Deputy Governor gone rogue. It is a case of a Deputy Governor who has decided not to inspire the youths of this country. In my opening remarks, permit me to refer to the Bible book of Exodus, Chapter 18 verse 21. It says- “Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate bribes.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, equally, permit me to refer to Surah ya Pili or the Second Chapter, Verse 188 of the Quran - “And their taking of bribe, to thou were forbidden, for taking it and the devouring of men substance worthful bribes, and we have prepared for the disbelief among them and a painful moment.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, the County Government of Kisii through the Gusii Water and Sanitation Company (GWASCO) advertises for a job for the commercial manager. The job is carried on the newspaper. The Deputy Governor gets to know about it, he informs his friend Mr. Joseph Mosati, whom he alleges he has been friends with for the last 32 years, that here is an opportunity where your son can be absorbed into employment. He plans on how to extort, defraud and benefit with Kshs800,000. He creates a scheme where he meets the Managing Director of GWASCO. He informs her in advance that he has a candidate who will be presenting his application before you. He attempts to convince her that at the appropriate time, “I will do the necessary--- ‘The necessary’ herein being bribing the Director of GWASCO for purposes of return of a favour in favour of Dennis Mosati. Dennis Mosati is given the responsibility by his father to raise the Kshs800,000. A young, poor, jobless man, a family man who is destitute and desperate for a job, does all within his means. He sells his salon so as to raise the Kshs800,000, sells all his household; sufurias and everything else, so that he could raise the Kshs800,000 as sought by the Deputy Governor. He succeeds in that mission, raises the money even from his friends. Upon the success of the mission of raising the Kshs800,000, he forwards the same. The father and the mother are involved in that scheme. Finally, the money lands to the Deputy Governor through M-pesa and cash. The County Assembly shall give evidence to that extent that, ‘yes, money was sent from the M-pesa of Joseph Mosati, Dennis Mosati the complainant and equally money was sent from the M-pesa of Anne Mosati. All the money landed to the benefit or the M-pesa of the Deputy Governor. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
