    "content": "worked there. The only thing they would have asked for was a higher salary because they would have required special security and special accommodation. Madam Temporary Speaker, people like those belong in jail. How can someone pocket Kshs45.8 million in a county like Tana River where livestock and children die because of lack of water? Such people belong in jail. The Senator for Tana River should have been a Member to see the pain that runs through the CPAIC when we read about Tana River. For the County Government of Trans Nzoia, we found there is a governor who is highly educated and experienced but he allowed Kshs64.1 million to be unaccounted for in the form of imprest. Can you imagine what Kshs64.1 million can do? The governor just gave it to people in the office and they signed here and there without accounting for it. We have recommended that he faces the EACC and the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to account for the money, failure to which he should be prosecuted and spend his time in jail. In the County Government of Nyandarua, the father of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) was born and rose from poverty to become an engineer. He is the reason why we have devolution because it made sense that if CDF worked, then on a larger scale, we could spend billions in counties. However, Governor Mwangi engaged in irregular rehabilitation of roads. I almost fought him when he appeared before us. I was the Chair at that time and I was forced to bring the business of the Committee in this room because a whole battalion of wananchi had accompanied him from Nyandarua and they wanted to hear us. We found that he had misappropriated Kshs657,947,191. When we combed through the report slowly by slowly and gave him time to bring the documents, he could not account for that money. For this reason, we have recommended that we have enormous irregularities and notwithstanding the special audit, the matter should be referred to the EACC and those found culpable be prosecuted. Nyandarua is a place where they have even build toilets for Kshs5 million and that is very interesting. If there is one county in central that deserves to be respected, it is Nyandarua. This is the county of Josiah Mwangi Kariuki who is one of the few heros of Africa. He died believing that corruption was creating a county of 10 millionaires with 10 million beggars. He would scream if he woke up and found the poverty in Nyandarua compared to the wealth in Kiambu. He died fighting for Kenya but when members of his community continuously remain in the Office of the President, they shortchanged Nyandarua and developed Kiambu. I do not understand how Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki is not in the NASA up to this day but I know we are still “nasaring” them. It is just a matter of time before he comes."
