    "content": "Not a single prosecution of an officer who has violated the PFM Act where they are supposed to be charged personally has been done. As we continue to allocate funds to counties, we must reinforce Section 10 of the County Allocation Revenue Bill. That is the reason we must continue telling our brothers and sisters in the National Assembly that they are cutting the branch which they are sitting on. At one time, they will pay for the mistakes that they are making in terms of the oversight role of this House. In conclusion, I would like to state that we have come so far. Half way down the line, Kenyans are benefitting from devolution. We have allocated money to counties. We do not want to see what we saw in Bungoma where the Senate Minority Leader was on print and electronic media talking about a “sick hospital.” Eleven people had died in hospital beds because doctors there had not been paid. It is a tragedy because somebody in that county should be charged for murder. It cannot be business as usual when doctors take an oath and leave the people they are supposed to take care of to die. Action ought to be taken because it cannot be normal that you can leave duty and leave the person you are supposed to treat to die because you have not been paid a salary. That is abdication of duty or criminal negligence. I am suggesting that these doctors who left people to die should take responsibility. Just like the people who have pilfered public funds, they should go to Kamiti and spend some time with criminals for them to know that public funds are not to be treated casually as they have been. Madam Temporary Speaker, I hope when we do County Allocation of Revenue Bill 2015, we will not be lamenting about the same thing and pilferage of funds, but we will be talking about successes of devolution. We urge governors to use the Floor of this House to communicate about the successes of devolution so that we stop painting a picture of doom. I beg to support."
