    "content": " Hon. Speaker, the Deputy President has only been seen in those places when accompanying the President. He has never gone on his own to see the destruction caused by floods. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) did a disservice to this country. The EACC is responsible for vetting candidates who seek elective positions. The Deputy President was a District Officer (DO). He was sacked on 30th July, 1997. Even with this knowledge, the EACC did not perform its duty well. They cleared him to vie for a seat of Member of Parliament and, subsequently, they cleared him to be President Ruto’s running mate and became Deputy President. He is not supposed to be in office because of misconduct. Hon. Speaker, his sacking letter reads as follows: “Mr. Geoffrey Rigathi Gachagua, District Officer 1 Laikipia, through Provincial Commissioner, summarily dismissed. Reference is made to our letter dated 19th May 1989 on your appointment to the position of District Officer… In your response, show cause why… for gross misconduct, desertion from duty and reported mismanagement of relief food for Laikipia District. In this regard, we wish to notify you that your employment contract has been terminated forthwith. Consequently, you are required to report to the Rift Valley Provincial Commissioner for handover and clearance.”"
