"content": "We should summon EACC to appear before us. We tell the country whether we are serious in the fight against corruption, or whether we have allowed the prophecy that was given by Prof. P.L.O. Lumumba to come to reality. If most of you can remember, the moment we created devolved units, he said, if we are not careful as a country, we will devolve corruption. Why for God's sake would EACC withdraw an officer from a watchdog body? I was the chair when I served as a member of the advisory board. One of the sources of getting information on corruption activities was reports of the PAC of Parliament. I am sure if Bishop Oginde and the CEO took time to come to Parliament to sit before the committee that is chaired by Sen. Kajwang’, they will be shocked. If they just sit through and listen to the queries raised by the Auditor General and the management responses from our county government, then look at the amount of money that this country is losing, they will have sleepless nights. There are a lot of almost criminal and murderous activities that are taking place in our counties. I fully support this Motion and hope that when we resume tomorrow, we must agree that issues dealing with the pending bills is a cancer that we must diagnose and deal with once and for all, as Senators. I support."
