    "content": "nothing you can do. We will just diagnose and say this and that, and they will write a report which will be tabled before the Senate. We will make a recommendation. They will look at our recommendation as if it is a love letter. They will look at it as if it is flowers, we are giving to them. They will ignore. It is a sad reality and Kenyans must accept this. The much we can do is to recommend. Last weekend, I was in Mosoriot, Aldai and Mosop sub-counties, I met people who told me, Senator, the money has been lost, we do not see roads. As I said, the only thing we can do is to recommend. Unless Kenyans amend the Constitution and give powers to the Senate to arrest, prosecute and detain, maybe that one will be resolved. On the issue of additional funds, I heard Sen. Eddy mentioned that we are getting Kshs55 million. However, I want to challenge the Committee on Finance and Budget led by the able Vice-Chairperson, Sen. Mutinda, I saw her here--- I do not know whether Karen Nyamu was with the President in the Nairobi tour. Yes, both of you were with the President. It is good you are standing with him. It cannot be that up to now, Kshs15 billion of mineral royalties has not been released to Migori or Nandi. I think you need to tell Hon. Mbadi, one of the experts that was given to us, to release this Kshs15 billion. This is because your people are suffering. Yesterday we were discussing the issue of Equalisation Fund and said Kshs46.5 billion is yet to be released. Are we serious? How do we expect services to be provided to our people? In Chemelil, Chamase, we have Kerebe Gold Mine. We need to see value in Kapsabet. On the issue of intern doctors, that one has been resolved and I am happy. The Community Health Promoters (CHP) must be seen--- I want to make a final comment in the interest of time. Since Nandi will get Kshs480.8 million in terms of additional funds, I want to make an appeal that this amount be prudently spend. I agree with the Senate Majority Leader that the World Bank is now a conduit of corruption. When the first Kenya Urban Support Programme (KUSP) and Kenya Devolution Programme (KDP) came to Nandi, I wrote so many letters to the World Bank to demand accountability and projects being done in Nandi. They never responded. They imagined I was sending them compliments. I challenge the Committee on Finance and Budget and the CPAC to call this World Bank another donor fund. They must be accountable. They are busy lecturing us about democracy and accountability yet when you today write about KUSP and KDP, World Bank will never even acknowledge your receipt of your letter. They will never tell you what is happening in Bomet. They have specific contractors. That is why my people in Mosoriot Township are demonstrating. We have tried to engage the World Bank. Why is World Bank operating in secrecy? Like they are night runners. They are possessing witchcraft and sorcery. Sen. Eddy, Sen. M. Kajwang’, Sen. Mutinda, the World Bank and other donors who give us grants and loans must appear before Senate and tell us what they are doing in Nairobi. Why do they want to operate above the law? This money is not funeral money or"
