    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I laud this Bill because there is also a provision of compensation for user fees foregone. This is very important and the country should know what it means, especially the people of Kakamega. Whereas Kakamega Provincial General Hospital, which is now a Level 5 Hospital, collects around Kshs18 million to Kshs30 million per month, the user fee that is foregone is supposed to be compensated from this money. Instead of the Governor of Kakamega taking advantage of this money, he is now starving the former Provincial General Hospital by giving them a mere Kshs10 million. Sen. (Prof.) Lesan understands these issues very well. In the process, the nurses do not know what to do. They cannot have gloves or spirit so as to wipe the buttocks of a child before they give an injection. These are simple things. We must have the second generation of governors. We need humble people who think about the poor, but not people who think big in terms of a desire to own aircrafts. I know of a case of a governor in one of the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) counties, but I will not mention his name because I do not want to be challenged. The governor was supported by a Senator sitting in this House to vie on a Wiper ticket. He has recently paid in cash Kshs318 million and he now owns a chopper. Where is the EACC? Where is the Criminal Investigation Department (CID)? Where is the Government and especially the President of Kenya? He should stop being Mr. Nice. Yesterday, the President told us that he will go after governors who steal public money. He is the most informed Kenyan. By the time the Bullfighter gets to know these things, the President is given an opportunity way ahead of time by the National Intelligence Service (NIS). He knows very early in the morning what goes on across the country. What is he waiting for? Let him act for governors to know that the President is a notch higher than them. At the moment, because he does not act, they think they are also presidents."
