    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will use a bizarre incident that occurred in my county a few days ago. The county assembly found out that the Ward Development Fund for this Financial Year, which was about Kshs280 million, deposited in an account under the administration of a management committee as set up in the Ward Development Fund Bill passed by the county assembly has been misused. The county assembly decided to set up a committee to look into this matter and table their report in the county assembly which was duly debated and adopted. In debating and adopting this very important report, all hell broke loose in the county assembly, in a manner not befitting the decorum of a representative institution. Even more bizarre is that in the midst of that drama, one of the Members of County Assemblies (MCAs), who was in the committee, disappeared in another bizarre manner. In that tension the home of the county officer in charge of planning and finance was vandalized by angry residents of the village, who presumably took it upon themselves that it was because of that debate in the county assembly that the MCA had disappeared. This matter needs to be properly investigated by relevant arms of Government and the facts must be known and due process followed to ensure that justice is done and public resources are recovered. In the meantime, the affected officer is unfortunately behaving in a very irresponsible manner by mentioning all kinds of names including mine on radio stations as if I was responsible for his predicament. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is highly irresponsible and I would like to request the security and the investigative agents of the State, particularly the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the Criminal Investigation Department(CID), the National Intelligence Service (NIS) in Kisumu to take this matter seriously and deal with 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"
