    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot be blamed for a road that was constructed for the people of Kiambu County. Allow me to repeat that for one to be elected, you have to give promises but the execution of those promises is not that easy. As a Governor, I thought the most important thing is for me to spearhead the county to achieve the development that we had promised our people. Therefore, in the absence of the evidence that I got any kickbacks from those tenders, that allegation should be thrown out. On the issue of budgeting, we have qualified staff members in Kiambu County, some whom have Master’s Degrees and Doctorate in Philosophy (PhD) in Procurement. Those are the people who should have answered any question concerning budgeting and procurement. I am not a procurement staff. I do not belong to those committees. There are people who are entrusted to do that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to sum up by challenging the first witness who appeared before the House to produce any document to show that he has a Master’s Degree or that he is a ICPAK holder. This House must encourage leaders to say the truth. You should not entertain liars and propagandists in the Senate. People should know that this is a very respectable House with people of integrity. Whatever people say in this House must be the truth and nothing but the truth. Just to give an example on how high the gravity of lies is in Kiambu County, my Deputy Governor has been going round saying that he is a Doctor yet he is not a Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) holder."
