    "content": "That way, after a particular time, I can hold him into account and tell him: “ Bwana auditor, how were you not able to capture this particular issue?” We have County Executive Committee (CEC) Members whom we are well aware that within two to three years after being appointed into office, they are buying properties all over town. The things that happen in the national Government are worse off in our counties. This is because they do not have the kind of publicity that is given to Cabinet Secretaries (CS) of the national Government. The ones in the counties walk scot-free. If you ask any particular Kenyan where the corruption is happening in their counties, they will point to you. They will tell you it is this particular water project, go and look at. In the county books it is captured as completed, but the truth of the matter is that only two or three pipes were laid down. I have a practical example where somebody sunk two inch plastic pipes, but the county books of accounts captured it as six-inch Galvanised Iron (GI) steel pipes for almost five or 15 kilometres. When the auditors come, if you, as a Senator, do not have direct participation in the audit process, how will they capture some of these things? They will just be told that: “Beneath that mound of sand, there are huge pipes that are buried there, supplying water to a particular village.”"
