    "content": "When the EACC was summoned to Nyamira, instead of recording a statement and taking that Governor to court, they got money from him and told him that they can agree he refunds that money quietly. What a shame! How can that be from a body that is supposed to be fighting corruption. What stops another officer in the County Government of Nyamira to pay himself and when the EACC goes there, he will say but you did that to the Governor. We also want a settlement. Governor Amos Nyaribo should have been arrested, arraigned before a court of law and a conviction given by the courts. That is the only way you can send a message that you are intent on fighting corruption. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me even shock you further because I have walked with documents. There was another case of officers within the County Government of Nyamira who hatched a scheme to siphon money from the public coffers. They came up with ghost names and no one knows those people to date. They paid them a total Kshs800,000. These guys were investigated for those offences, charged with abuse of office. One Godfrey Kiriago and Geoffrey Nyamwagwa. They were arrested and taken to court for that crime they committed. Once the case was registered as Criminal Case No. E510/2023 - and I have the charge sheet here, they had a secret meeting with officers from the ODPP. This case was withdrawn under Section 82(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code. What a shame! Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the County Government was summoned to appear in Nairobi, they had the audacity to tell the Committee of the Senate that they had the taken action of relieving Mr. Kiriago from the service of the County Government of Nyamira The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
