    "content": "How to you define a case where one destroys the place where women sell their wares in Kapsabet and Namgoi towns? How do you define a situation where one throws them on the streets to a point where they cannot feed their children? Is Governor Sang not committing femicide? Why throw women on the streets? Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a sad reality that we must fight. I call upon the House leadership, under the guidance of President William Ruto and Raila Odinga, to look into how to deal with corruption in counties. Taifa Leo, on Sunday, reported of counties where money is lost through payroll and one of the counties that featured in that report was Nandi County. In Nandi County, you will find that the Governor has almost 300 workers. There are people who carry his seats, microphones, mobile toilets, carpet, Bible, pens and even those who carry his concubines. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we cannot work very hard to create demigods and gods in our counties. I want to challenge the Senate Minority Leader who is holding forte on behalf of NADCO issues. They should bring a Bill on corruption in counties. He cannot work hard over here to send money to the county just to go to some village in Magarini, Kilifi County, and find that poverty is walking around like a human being. We have water flowing less than one kilometer from Garissa Town, yet people cannot access clean and safe water. That cannot be. It cannot be that we have pools deeper than dimples in Nairobi City County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support. Let us fast-track these NADCO Bills. We are solidly behind President William Ruto and Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga. We are moving into a broad- based Government and ensuring that we move this country forward. With those many remarks, and with the smile of the Senate Minority Leader, I beg to support."
