    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I congratulate Sen. Khaniri for this Petition. As has been expressed by Members, it is pathetic that we see this kind of picture nearly in every county. Maybe they should be called county “executhieves” because that is the title they deserve. If you look at the Petition, using Kshs1.698billion for unaccountable ventures is pathetic. They did this in the name of allocating Kshs36 million to every ward. Spending Kshs11million to construct a kitchen, store and a toilet abhors straight thinking. In Migori County, the governor’s bed was bought at Kshs1.2million. I wonder how that bed is. In that county, a governor who a few years ago could not afford a good car before he was elected governor now has a fleet of high guzzler vehicles and in every street he has a storey building among other several hotels in the town. They are taking public money and not even hiding. When you look at the Auditor-General’s Report, you cannot use it to accuse him on anything. It is good that a bold move was taken by the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) of Vihiga County. In Migori County, the MCAs have been compromised for a long time. I am waiting for this kind of Petition to be presented to this House but every time it is ready, it disappears somewhere. That is impunity. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
