    "content": "clearly that he does not have confidence in the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. He shares that feeling with many of us. The EACC has let down Kenyans big time. We support the President for bypassing this body and using the DCI. As Parliament, we guarantee the President that we will do all that it takes to give capacity to the DCI, the Office of the DPP and other offices, even through budgetary allocation. In fact, in the current Budget Estimates, we have increased and enhanced allocation to the Office of the DPP so that we can see a renewed effort in fighting graft. The EACC has failed Kenyans big time. In that context, I urge the President not to stop this war at the national level. I know the DCI might have limitations in terms of personnel and capacity to go to all the 47 counties, but I would be glad to see the DCI sending officers in some sampled counties to serve as an example. I was telling another friend of mine that if we send this team to Lamu County, before they reach Mombasa, the corrupt elements in Kwale would have reached Tanzania. They will run away. We need to also target the counties. What we see happening in counties is a shame to this country. The EACC cannot continue to investigate one county forever. Action must be taken against counties."
