    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.45(2)(a) to make a Statement on a county issue. On 5th November, 2016, a section of Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega which is currently under construction collapsed. The estimated cost of this project is Kshs1 billon. One week after this incident, the Governor of Kakamega, hon. Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya, made a reshuffle in the procurement section within the county government executive leaving only the head of the procurement section. No officers were immediately deployed to the section. On 14th November, 2016, all the computers in the procurement section of the county government were mysteriously stolen. The theft was stage-managed as there was no evidence of a break-in and the CCTV cameras had deliberately been switched off. That, therefore, leads to the conclusion that the theft had been instigated by an insider. With this, therefore, all information pertaining to procurement of all projects in the county within Kakamega have vanished. Even with the unfolding of all these events, the Governor for Kakamega has not uttered a single word nor has he given an official communication regarding the matter. The police have also been reluctant to record statements from the head of the procurement section and the officers serving in that section. Instead, the police have shifted their focus to the county junior enforcement officers who were on duty during the theft. 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"
