    "content": "emotions ran high. However, I am grateful that you have readmitted me. It was not disorderly, but rather a misunderstanding. I would like to thank you for that. That said, for you to have any requisitions made in any County Assembly, we have a County Assembly Service Board, which gets these requisitions and then writes to the Head of the Treasury as established by the County Governments Act. The Head of the Treasury in the County is the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Finance and Economic Planning who then prepares Form C, signs and sends it to the CoB. However, it does not stop there. Anything that the County Assembly will request, among others that are sent to the CECM, Finance and Economic Planning is also coming from the Executive side who is the Governor. Those issues are canvassed within the Assembly, which in this case in Nyamira County, has been found that it was the Assembly, ran by these 12 Members of the County Assembly in Nyamira. Madam Temporary Speaker, what we are realizing here is simple. The biggest finding of this report is that these 12 MCAs who call themselves Mashinani team, and the impeached Speaker, were sitting illegally under Section 7(b) of the County Governments Act. So, why are we sugarcoating this issue? There is a criminal enterprise that is running in Nyamira County. This is what we must stand by as a House. This criminal enterprise is constituted of the Governor because it is him who makes executive decisions that go to the County Assembly that is rogue, the 12 MCAs who are meeting and making these decisions, the Speaker who has been impeached and the CECM, Finance and Economic Planning of Nyamira County. The fifth person who must be held liable is the County Assembly Service Board of Nyamira. These people must be arrested and taken to court. The EACC and the DCI must investigate their intention of building this criminal enterprise to siphon public money from Nyamira County. I am not making this statement lightly. I am informed that the Governor of Nyamira County is actually the Party Leader of UPA, which has been shown, time without number, to be fronting a presidential candidate. It is nothing personal. This is the party that Hon. Matiang’i is going to run on. I do not know whether this money is being siphoned deliberately to finance a presidential campaign for Hon. Matiang’i. So, this investigation must be done by the EACC and the DCI. I can tell you point blank, that this is a criminal enterprise---"
