    "content": "If you go behind our county referral hospital, the last time we visited, as a Committee chaired by Sen. Mandago, we found a project that was abandoned. It was abandoned as soon as the new governor took office after the death of the late Nyagarama. We had pumped in millions of shillings and then the project was abandoned. We are the people's representatives; we must get a solution to this problem. Sen. Methu, you are a bright young man. We cannot allow it. Some of the money thrown into uncompleted projects is money gotten from donors. World Bank is giving us money that we send to counties to do nothing or you find that people are asking for bribes. Like now, we have support to do roads in Keroka, our second largest town. The money available to us is Kshs204 million. People who want to do that projects are now falling over themselves, talking to various entrepreneurs. It has even moved up from 10 per cent. People are now told “give 20 per cent before we give you a tender,” yet this is money that your taxes and mine will be used to repay. It is not free money. When we get that money, it must transform the quality of life that the people of Nyamira are living today for the better. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), where I served for five years, must wake up. If you talk to all the Senators, no governor fears the EACC anymore. They are receiving bribes left, centre and right."
