"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to sympathise with the Senator for Meru, I am sure these sympathies will go to me as well. The Governor for Meru probably tried a bit and even signed for the equipment but the governor of my county, Bomet, who was the first chair of all the governors in the country, brought these bad manners of not serving the people in that capacity, by not signing the documents at all. It is only after enormous pressure from the people that he allowed the County Executive Committee Member (CEC) for Health to allow the use of rooms which were available for this equipment. Against all odds, the public made sure that the equipment was installed against the wishes of the governor. The governor, like all the other governors, has no remorse at all. Even after the equipment had been installed, several residents of the county are still dying, but the governors are not reevaluating their concern for the citizenry despite the enormous loss of human life. This is one of the greatest omissions in terms of performing work that should be considered as criminal. Action should be taken against abuse of office that costs the lives of wananchi. It is time we call upon the bulldog which is sitting at Upper Hill, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). They are supposed to look into some of these things. It is about time that they woke up and dealt with this for the benefit of the Kenyan citizens. I sympathise with what the governors are doing. It is costing lives and I hope that something will be done to save lives."
