    "content": "situation will change in the foreseeable future. We have been told about the annuity programme for the last four years, but I do not think it will come to fruition in the remaining period before the next general elections. I entirely agree with the Senate Majority Leader that we must hold the governors accountable. We devolved power and resources to the wrong hands; starting from the governors to the lowest cadre of staff. We must do a lifestyle audit. How is it possible that a clerk who earns Kshs60,000 is building a house that costs Kshs10 million? We must seriously confront these issues and take to task all those engaged in corruption. I appreciate the fact that a number of Cabinet Secretaries have been asked to step aside, but that is not the solution. Any case that finds its way to court must be concluded within a specific timeframe, so that those culpable pay the price for the mistakes they make in this country. There should be no sacred cows. The Jubilee Government has dreamt big, but it is not realizing its ultimate goals. The Government has spoken passionately about the public/private partnership framework that has not been operationalized. If this is operationalized we can make a big difference in terms of achieving what has been planned. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is encouraging to the people of this country. There was a terrorist attack in a bus that was moving to Mandera. One gentleman, the late Farah is mentioned as someone who came out and defended the people from other faiths in the bus. That was a good move. We encourage Kenyans of all faiths, religions and walks of life to come out together and combat terrorism together as a nation. We have suffered inside and outside Nairobi, including the incident that happened in my own county, two nights ago. I support this Motion. I conclude by saying that there are many gaps in terms of reaching the development goals that we envisaged as a country."
