    "content": "Parliament are not even included; my colleague who spoke earlier on should have been included in this as well. I want to take a case in point of Mr. Munya, the Meru Governor. He is on the list and it has been stated that it is because of a matter of a vehicle. A couple of times he has gone to court to prevent the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) from coming to Meru County to investigate it. I wonder why he says that he is clean and he would not want to step aside, but he just wants to go on leave. Why does he not leave the EACC do the job when he is on leave? Governors cannot say that unless the Deputy President steps aside, they will not step aside. That is the wrong approach. We are not talking about the Deputy President, we are talking about the governor who has already been investigated for wrong doing. There is this County Report that hon. Duale has talked about. I note that in 2013/ 2014 personal emoluments were Kshs 371 million. In one quarter of a year the amount is Kshs 1.3 billion. Can we justify an increase of Kshs 1 billion in quarter a year in 2013/2014 and 2014/2015? That is not justifiable. The EACC should urgently go to Meru County and have a look at this. I would like to talk about the President‟s Address regarding electricity increase. I thank the Government together with the World Bank because in my constituency I have received slum upgrading projects together with electricity. I thank the Government for giving free examination fees to secondary school students and primary school pupils, but I request the Government to look at private schools, because people do not take their children to private schools by choice. Finally, I thank Miss Waiguru for coming up with such good things like roads, the Huduma Centres and hospital equipment. The governors need to think about the health of our people. They need to take that equipment as soon as yesterday, because they cannot afford to buy it. I am glad that I built a dialysis unit, which is working, in Meru."
