    "content": "(v) while the governor is on record indicating that the medical bills for all the victims would be waived and taken care of by the county government, it is not clear why money had to be paid out from the fund collected to various public hospitals against the express and unequivocal representations of the governor; (e) by his acts of omission and commission, the governor has grossly violated the provisions of Article 75 of the Constitution, which demands that a state officer shall, “Whether in private or in public, behave in a manner that avoids conflict of interest between personal interests and public or official interests, or compromises public interest in favor of personal interests.” (f) by overseeing the misappropriation of the funds aimed at assisting the victims of the accident, the governor violated Article 73(2), which demands from him selfless service based solely on public interest, demonstrated by honesty in the execution of his duties, accountability to the public for decisions and actions, and discipline and commitment in service; (g) by allowing himself to be a master of doublespeak in such a grave matter that shook the conscience of the nation, the governor violated Article 7(a)(a)(ii) and (iii) of the Constitution, which demand that he at all times demonstrates respect to the people and brings honor and dignity to the office he holds; (h) by allowing himself and senior officials close to him to benefit from the funds, the governor violated Article 76(2)(b) of the Constitution of Kenya, which prohibits a state officer from accepting a benefit in circumstances that compromise the integrity of the state officer; and, (i) by failing to ensure that decision making in the executive office of the county governor are not influenced by corruption, nepotism, and other callous and improper motives, the governor has failed to exercise objectivity and impartiality, thus violating Article 73(2)(b) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. The Hon. (Dr.) Eric Kipkoech Mutai, how do you plead to Ground 1, guilty or not guilty?"
