    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the last time that I sat with the Chairman of Wiper Party, he told me: “Our party is Wiper because it wipes all corruption everywhere.” In my submission, I was saying that the Senate must fight corruption. Indeed, it was a compliment that we have a greater role as a House to fight for greater accountability and ensuring that Sen. Musila helps my friend, Governor Malombe to deliver. This is because giving people Kshs4 billion is not an easy thing. There is a great temptation in managing that amount of money. In the same manner, even in Elgeyo- Marakwet County, I have to play a key role of assisting my friend and classmate, Governor Tolgos, to walk the narrow path in terms of managing the resources in the county. This is because the Bible says that we are all bound to fall into temptations. Therefore, I have said that in good faith. If I offended the Chairman and our Commissioner, then I apologize. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I believe that this Bill will make our counties do better. Come next year, we will increase the amount of resources to be devolved to our counties to more than Kshs226 billion. But our counties must give us a reason to increase the resources to go to the counties by using that money well. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with all those many remarks and without fishing any further information, I beg to support."
