    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the nomination of Archbishop Wabukala. I seem to be getting from Members that we are defeated to fight corruption and we hope God can sort it out for us. That tone cannot go out of this Chamber. Let us tell Archbishop Wabukala that he must know what he is up to. I have said on this Floor that we will never fight corruption in this country unless we dissolve that secretariat. If we want Archbishop Wabukala to succeed, we must dissolve that secretariat. That is where the problem is. This is supposed to be an independent commission, but we have Mr. Halakhe and Mr. Mubea who are permanent, while the chairs and commissioners keep being kicked out every day. I have seen documentation when they were kicking out Ms. Irene Keino. They even fabricated anti-corruption charges against her, so that she could not question how the Chancery Building where they sit was acquired. Right now the governors are looting and milking this country dry. The governors‟ files are lying there. We cannot be here and tell Archbishop Wabukala to go and pray so that corruption ends. We must help him. When we appointed these commissioners, Hon. Chris Wamalwa tried to move an amendment, so that the new commission could kick out the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and his Deputy but we were defeated. The other side vehemently opposed that. We cannot run away from telling the Jubilee Government that they are enjoying corruption and its lack of fighting it. If they want Archbishop Wabukala to succeed, bring a law that allows the Commission to kick out the CEO, his deputy and the rogue investigators. There is no way we can claim there is corruption in the Executive at the highest level of the Executive and not talk about corruption that has permeated in county governments. There are many files and investigators keep going to those counties to collect money. Lastly, I want to challenge the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Senate. What is it doing with the Auditor-General‟s Reports of county governments? The Senate must act because history will judge it very harshly. Only fools do not know that the Senate is dealing negatively with county governments. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Archbishop as the Chair."
