    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, listening to this Petition, I now understand the bitterness that is driving many Senators to go and run for these positions of governor. I take this opportunity to hail the five patriotic residents of Bungoma County for their bravery in bringing this Petition and for the confidence that they have in this Senate to address issues affecting them. The story of corruption, misappropriation and spending beyond budgeted figures reads the same in all counties. It is the duty of this Senate to ensure that this comes to an end. Devolution is not benefitting Kenyans as envisaged in the Constitution. Governors have deliberately decided to preside over very corrupt regimes to enrich themselves and their cronies. Kenyans are crying loudly to the Senate. I support the sentiments made by my colleagues who spoke earlier, that unless we take action on some of these governors and bring them to book and send some of them to jail, we will not be able to stop the corruption, theft and plunder that is going on in the counties. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
