    "content": "This Senate collectively is the custodian of devolution and the protector of counties and their governments. We must act decisively to ensure that offending governors are brought to book. The way some governors behave is like they are in some conspiracy to undermine efficacy and success of devolution. A governor just embarks on reckless theft, misappropriation of funds, looting and enriching themselves unjustifiably. A governor who did not have a second car, all of a sudden, has property everywhere. I was privileged to be invited by the counties of Turkana and Pokot in Kitale to sit with them in a quest for peace. I have never seen so many brand new four-wheel drives like I saw on that day when I stepped out of the hotel. The bulk of them were from Turkana County. It is an abuse. I urge the committee that will be assigned the duty to look at this petition to do it very meticulously and efficiently, so that anybody found culpable is brought to book. We do not want to go the way of the national Government where thieves are called whistle- blowers. We, as a Senate, want to deal with offenders within the context of the law and make them feel the full weight of the law. I support the petition. I urge the committee that you will assign to get down to work and arrest the plight of the people of Turkana. There is absolutely no justification for Turkana County to continue being labeled as a sea of poverty given the amount of money and the human and natural resources they have. I support and I deserve a pat on the back from you because you are an interested party."
