    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to comment on and support this Motion on Adjournment. By the time we come back to this House, it will be almost 30 days following the warning that was given by the President for those people implicated, those who have been accused or those who are rumoured to be corrupt to step aside for investigations. I hope that in those 30 days when we come back, there will be some action that will have been undertaken. Unfortunately, you need to have some level of craziness to expect that there will be action. When you look at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), which is the body that is mandated to deal with the many individuals who have been named, it is falling apart. It is not well funded and staffed; the commissioners are fighting; we are told that some are on leave whereas we know that some have thrown in the towel and others are being promised to be taken to Brazil. But as we go on recess we, as elected leaders, we shall also not join the lynch mobs that will be baying for the blood of those who have been mentioned in this report. I would still like to advise the President, in case he would need advice from Homa Bay County; that in the fight against corruption, we probably need to follow Pareto’s Principle. If I was in a position to advise the Head of State, I would advise him to first focus on the Cabinet Secretaries (CSs), Principal Secretaries (PSs) and people that he has control over. Deal with them within the 60 days and them make phase two a purge on the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
