    "content": "I think for being sick and as a favour so that when you recover – if you do by the mercy of God and not because you are being treated – you will remember that governor and vote for him. We have sunk that low. This is why you go to hospitals and you find huge gates, but no fence because that is where the money is being taken from. You just construct the gate, get the money. When you go to the hospital, patients are sharing beds. They are sleeping in twos. It is a pity there is no medicine, nurses or doctors, but you have a gate worth Kshs14 million. Many county governments are rotten. It is high time that this House lowered the threshold for impeachment. It also time that the national Government and the Judiciary ensured that we set examples by jailing all these people who are stealing public funds so that, at least, our children can see that we are taking corruption seriously. Otherwise, this will go on like this and this country will be no more. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we celebrate devolution, let us ensure that we only devolve the good and not the bad things. I applaud Nigeria today because they have now started jailing governors who stole public funds. I look forward to the day when the current governors will face jail for the theft of public funds that they are conducting now. It is across the board that the majority of counties have stolen public funds."
