    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a problem that not only affects Nyamira County, but virtually all counties. If people were to be allowed to petition us, we would get petitions from every county. This is an issue that has been recurring in the Senate. The County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) has been doing a lot of work to expose some of the counties that have been involved in misappropriation of funds. Therefore, it is important that this matter be looked into, in totality because it affects many counties. There is need for us to spell out the consequences of misappropriating public funds by a governor. We should not leave it only to the CPAIC to scrutinise accounts, recommend and end it at that. We should come up with recommendations such as prosecution and even recovering the stolen money from governors’ investments. It is my wish that it should include most of the counties and more so, they should even look into Kirinyaga where the revelation showed that Ksh3.4 billion was not properly utilised. I hope that this Petition can spread to those other affected counties. I support."
