    "content": "country essential services. The excuse that we are getting from county governments that there is more corruption at the national Government level is not good. I can only urge the National Assembly that oversights the national Government to up their game and increase their vigilance on national government agencies. For us in the Senate, our mandate is on the counties and we are not going to spare anybody. I have received numerous complaints from my own county about ghost projects, theft and plunder. I hope that now that the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) has almost finished scrutinizing the reports of the Auditor-General of 2014/2015. I hope that going forward, we will see more action this year. If we send one, two, five or more governors to jail before 2017, for theft and plunder of public resources, it will be a lesson to the rest. It will be a lesson to the rest that when one is appointed to public office, it is not a ticket to loot. To underscore how important this matter is, in Nigeria, half of the first set of governors had to be jailed for their successors to learn that too much power must be accompanied with too much responsibility. I beg to support this Bill."
