    "content": "come from – has not done anything to help the public to achieve the very aspirations that they had in terms of devolution. Perhaps, this is because there is a lacuna in the law. We must look at the law again with regard to how an elected individual, playing a very significant executive role can hold a large amount of public money and yet, they are only accountable to the county assemblies, which have in most cases been manipulated by the governors. We have lost the goodwill of a very good system of government and have not served the public as we should have. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are issues that we should be able to address. The President’s Speech has touched on some of them, but the challenge is upon us to deal with them. The officers who have been mentioned are innocent until proven guilty. They should not only look at this issue from a legal point of view, but also from a moral perspective. This is because it is the moral responsibility of those who lead to derive their right to lead other people by being morally upright and be trusted. So, I expect the governors to be morally obliged to step aside, so that we can look at the figures and declare them morally ready to rule the people and develop the devolved governments which we have put in place. Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to note the President’s Speech."
