    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in lauding members of those respective counties for being vigilant and concerned enough to raise issues regarding wastage of funds in their counties. We should encourage members of the public who have the interest of their counties at heart to take initiatives to raise such petitions. If you listen to the Member of County Assembly (MCA) from Machakos County who has realised that there is a deliberate attempt to refuse to fund projects in his Ward just because he is not singing the same song as the governor, that is the type of leaders that we want. From the counties that we come from, particularly my county, there are some peculiar wards that have been shut out because they do not sing the governor’s name in the morning, mid-day and evening. This is a terrible way of slavery that has arrived in our counties. As we look at these petitions, we should also come up with a procedure to compel relevant Government arms like the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to quickly institute a lifestyle audit on some of these fellows who were nobody yesterday morning and became instant millionaires overnight. I am told that there are some who have even decided to build helipads on top of their houses and these are people who were just ordinary in the village. I support this and I encourage it. I am waiting for some from West Pokot, Turkana and Trans Nzoia counties who are my neighbours, now that Bungoma County has started."
