    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to add my voice on the issue of mysterious fires that have become fashionable in many counties in this Republic of Kenya. I condemn that habit that has denied many Kenyans services. In Kisumu County, a mysterious fire destroyed the finance office only. Other paperwork was intact, but only three computers with the IFMIS were the target. I urge this House to investigate and inquire why it is only finance offices being targeted by the criminals who are employed by the county governments to loot money. As I speak, we cannot even trace the employees of Kisumu County Government. Kisumu County Government has stated that it does not have information or records of employees. They are now using cheques to pay their workers because of the fire that destroyed the finance office. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the agencies that have been given the mandate, such as the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), have become more friendly to the act of destroying offices. They do not take any action even if the fires destroyed all the financial information in some of the county government offices. Even if you report, they just tell you that action will be taken, but nothing happens. You will never see them coming back to interrogate or investigate why files are being destroyed. Therefore, I urge this House to move with speed to save this country. Otherwise, we will be failing in our duties. I thank you."
