    "content": "Having said that, I wish to say that I really appreciate the President’s Speech especially the way he linked the state of the devolution with accountability. He acknowledged that having successfully implemented devolution which is a new governance structure, accountability came into sharp focus because we are devolving a lot of money to the counties. We also seem to have devolved corruption. It is interesting how the President captured corruption. He gave us an overview of how his administration has been putting more investments to fight corruption. Indeed, it is true we have about 360 corruption cases pending in our courts. Most of those cases are not for ordinary Kenyans but for Cabinet Secretaries (CSs), former CSs, Principal Secretaries, governors and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of parastatals. A third of the President’s Cabinet that he started with has stepped aside. On the other hand, the President’s own Cabinet was cannibalised by corruption. He said that it was very painful for him but he took that step. This is unprecedented."
