    "content": "The dissolution of Makueni County was just a political strategy and a gimmick. It was not a real statement to this nation that Makueni County ought to be dissolved. Therefore, we cannot dissolve this county when we have sworn by the Constitution that we will protect our counties and devolution. We will be setting a precedent that we cannot deal with. That is one of the areas where the President should come out very clean. As the President was giving his Speech, he talked about corruption. When you read carefully through the annexure that he tabled in this House, you get a feeling that this country is completely on its death bed. If this is the kind of report that Kenyans have to rely upon to tell respectable Kenyans to step aside, then this country will lose a lot. This Report we are perusing here has not met the legal or constitutional threshold. It is a trash. It is high time we safeguarded the constitutional interest of each and every Kenyan. We should not tell people to step aside for reasons they do not know. It is upon the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee to study the issues affecting the EACC. It is a body that is incompetent. It lacks the moral obligation and authority to even question individuals on issues concerning corruption. If the trend goes on, then this country will lose quite a lot. Therefore, what we should really come out very clear on as Members of Parliament is to demand the dissolution of the EACC.
