    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was looking at the law and I am concerned about one little thing. I sit in the sub-Committee of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget that will investigate this matter. What will happen when we start investigating this matter is that somebody will interfere with the records. So, I have been wondering whether we can offer an option to Sen. Khaniri. First, the option would be a Motion for this Senate to have a special audit as quickly as possible. Secondly, ensure that the documents are not interfered with and thirdly, if possible as we did in the case of four counties under Article 225; we stop funds from being released to that county. Kenyans are desperate and they are coming to us; people of Murang’a and Makueni counties are desperate. If we go through the same rigmarole in the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, this issue will not be addressed in the urgency that I have seen in this Petition. I suggest that we look at a different method particularly for this one. This year, we need to catch only one governor, not two, just one. We ensure that they are personally responsible for the misuse of funds. You and I will sleep well at night for having served these Kenyans properly. As is that case with the other Motions that go through 60 days, as far as I am concerned, that will not offer the solutions that Sen. Khaniri and the people of Vihiga County are looking for. Lastly, I thank Sen. Khaniri. He has so many petitions. We have not given him the resolutions to any of those petitions but your county does not get tired. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you allow, tomorrow let us come with a Motion, stop funds, go for a special audit and do what we call in court; Anton Piller order. Let us go for that material before somebody tampers with it."
