    "content": "keeping the petition results is not helpful. This is also the county where the governor projected that he will collect kshs1.47 billion in local revenues. Records show that he collected Kshs2 billion and then reflected that he had collected Kshs183 million. The rest disappeared. This has killed the incentive of all the Senators to start advocating for more money to go to the counties. Money is going to the counties to line the pockets of individuals. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I finish, the other day, a good Samaritan came to tell me that my governor and a member of his family purported to purchase fertilizer worth Kshs150 million this planting season. What was bought was fertilizer of less than Kshs20 million. The rest of the money is gone. I agree with Sen. Ndiema that we should not turn theft into corruption. Theft is an outright criminal offence for which the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) should move in, investigate, arrest, incarcerate and prosecute. We need to have things move right now or never. I want to urge the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, Chaired by Sen. Billow, being a man with a finance background, to meticulously look at the Bungoma Petition. If there is any governor who needs to be in Kamiti Maximum Prison as a guest of the State, it is the governor of Bungoma. I want to see justice being done for the people of Bungoma County. The billions that we have given Bungoma County as the third largest county cannot be counted for anything."
