    "content": "how our governors and MCAs are working. There has never been greater deceit in this country. There has never been an opportunity for greater connivance to steal like what is happening in some of our counties and Kakamega being one of them. In my county, we ran a project running into billions, the so-called 10-mile-per- ward project and millions of shillings were sunk in. However, when you go to Kakamega, there is no single 10-kilometre-road project that is complete in any ward. Our MCAs, especially in Kakamega, have been reduced to cheering squads. You go to a public function where you are sharing the platform with the governor like in the case of Vihiga where the young Osotsi has expressed interest in running for governor, they will start jeering him. If it is in a funeral, the MCAs will not even wait for Osotsi to say his name and he has come to pay his condolences, they will immediately start wailing and booing. Like in Kakamega, some of the MCAs who are vulnerable to this kind of thing are our nominated ones. You see them getting hysterical. I got one and if I mention her name, I will be put to task. I asked her why she was doing that. She told me my brother, things are so difficult that I was given Kshs3,000. For Kshs3,000, an elected leader screams herself hoarse. I will do this for Mama Imbosa in Kakamega."
