    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will start by wishing my fellow Senators a good recess. I only have one substantive point to make. We are going on recess at a time when the Auditor-General has just released reports for the county governments and Ministries. It is a very sad day that we are now saying that so- and-so is ours, we know him and he should be left alone. At the moment, some MCAs are demanding that governors should be left alone because they are good people. But if they are being investigated by the Ethics Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) or are charged in court, they should go there and say so. On the other hand, we have also now coined a new song, saying that so-and-so is a very hardworking person. We shall congratulate somebody for being hardworking, but if money is being embezzled or stolen under his watch, being hardworking has nothing to do with what the Auditor-General and the EACC team says. Therefore, one should not work hard and then put our money in his pocket. We are now going for recess when many governors appear in the Auditor- General’s report. I can promise Senators that they will see the MCAs up in arms saying that we are now interfering with the governors. These documents are public and we have to talk about them. Therefore, I would like to call upon the whole nation to stand up and be counted. The funds which are under your watch are not yours. With those few words, I beg to support."
