"content": "nothing is happening, then there is a big problem with this country. The system is broken. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the way governors, including your governor, where Garissa Town is only a few metres from the river, and there is no water in Garissa town. The Governor is receiving money and smiling all the way to the bank. They should come back and account for it before the Floor of the House. When you ask governors to appear before committees, they do not come. I issued summonses to the Governor of Kisii, Hon. Simba Arati. I have issued summonses against the Governor of Tharaka Nithi, Muthomi Njuki. We have issued summonses to the Machakos Governor and even the Governor of Isiolo County because they do not want to come to account. However, they are busy taking money from us, and they cannot come back to our account. I remember the Ad Hoc report of the County Assembly of Nandi on the Kshs10 billion projects like Kapsabet mother and newborn units. There is no mortuary in Kapsabet Town. Mzungu built the one that was there. Our people are suffering. You go to Nandi Hills Hospital, and there are no drugs. Across Kabuchai Sub- county Hospital, which is less than 50 metres from the governor's house - God forbid, if he gets sick, he cannot access medical care in Kabuchai Sub-county Hospital, which is a stalled project. Also, Kapsengere is stalled. All the projects for which money has been allocated have stalled. When the Members of the County Assembly of Nandi tried to pass the Ad Hoc report, the MCAs were heavily intimidated and blackmailed. I want to thank the MCAs, almost 19 of whom were led by the Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee, the Kapsabet Ward MCA, for standing firm and fighting for justice. I can see my time is far spent. However, corruption in counties must be fought. I want to challenge the nominee of EACC, Mr. Abdi, to walk the talk. We are tired of EACC frying only omena instead of frying mbuta . As we talk today, there was a payroll fraud in Nandi County. The EACC and DCI came to Nandi and took away computers, and up to today, no one has been arrested. Even our Public Service Commission report came out in Nandi and showed that a number of people hired by the governor were earning a salary without working. No one has been arrested up to today. One of them was this campaign soloist. Another was a media presenter. Some of them were close relatives. What is this telling us? The system is broken. It is as simple as that. You saw what happened in Kisii; the same thing happened with the employee fiasco. No one has been held accountable in the employment saga, even in Isiolo County. We challenge the new EACC CEO. We are tired of appropriating funds, yet one is held accountable. Up to date, on the issue of payroll fiasco in Nandi, none has been arrested. The EACC come with abracadabra, comes with vehicles, and take computers and copies. One or two months later, no one has been arrested."
