    "content": "want to work and pay taxes, then we will not have money to fund our projects. I fully support the President‟s quest to have a corrupt free nation. Migori County, where I come from, is a rich county because it has resources. We have the best part of Lake Victoria. Karungu Bay and Mihuru Bay are in our county and we should have plenty of fish. We have gold reserves that make a few people rich in Nyatike. We have arable land in Awendo, Uriri, Rongo, Suna East, Suna West and Kuria. However, there is desolation and poverty in those places because the resources that are intended to benefit them end up in private pockets. If we utilised the resources according to plan, we would have self-reliant people; people who can feed, employ and contribute towards revenue generation. However, this is not happening because of corruption. If we do not deal with it, we will probably have no nation, no Senate, no National Assembly or an institution to talk of. All these institutions require public funding and commitment to proper utilisation for us to deliver services to the public. The President also talked about security. Before we embarked on this Order, there were a number of Statements and concerns about the state of security in universities and other institutions of higher learning. We continue losing our young ones who should be taking over from us because of insecurity. What makes it more painful is the fact that we are losing the ladies. I want to state that life is given to us through ladies and it is unfortunate that one can kill because of passion or dementia. We should provide security and support to children that needs education in university and tertiary institutions. We should protect and defend them from sexual predators or people who want to exploit them. In Migori County, we lost a very beautiful girl called Sharon Otieno. Unfortunately, the people suspected to have taken away her life are the ones who would be expected to protect her. It is unfortunate that the strong and those who are mandated to look after our vulnerable ones turn out to be suspect and having plans to kill them. It is clear that the law allows at times for us to defend the ones we love. Looking at the criminal law, we find that it is not a crime to kill in defense of a person we love, particularly family members or property that we hold dear."
