    "content": "Today if you listen to our vernacular radio station; if you allowed me, I could say it the way they say it in our vernacular. You will hear the presenter saying it is 9.00 o'clock, time being notified by governor so and so of a certain county, who is reminding you to pay your land rates. A governor is reminding me time on a radio station using tax- payers’ money. It happens every day, every moment, 12 times a day. You can see what they are doing with our minds. That is radicalization. You will think the governor is giving you a waiver; he is not. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the law is very clear, there is no governor who gives land waivers. It is only a CECM Treasury or Finance who has been given an opportunity by the law to give land waivers, not a governor or anyone. We, therefore, do not understand why they are putting images and some of those images are not attractive. When you are told to pay a fine and you look at that person or that image, you can get depressed. Can they put logos and emblems of our counties? As I conclude, we talk about misuse of funds, but you will see a governor putting the portrait on an ambulance or at the gate, welcoming you to their county. I have gone to Meru and when you are going there, you pass Embu and Kirinyaga counties. You will see some of the portraits saying; welcome to so-and-so county and you will see their image."
