One faction of the Assembly sits there. Even last week, after the appearance before the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), they sat there. What is happening is a situation where the governor chooses to deal with one faction outside the official premises of the County Assembly of Nyamira. However, in terms of the status of the building, the infrastructure, everything is intact and in place."

"content": "there was a serious fight at the County Assembly, and I thought perhaps, maybe the official residence--- Then, if that is the case, this is a very simple matter. Why should the county assembly, the one that is properly moved and sits in the premises not consider any business from that county government? The reason why I say that perhaps it is the Controller of Budget who is letting us down, is because there are certain statutory obligations that must be met by the county assembly before requisitions in matters such as budget are sent. It is proper for her to check which county assembly has approved some of these budgets that come from that particular county because at the heart of this dispute, resources are never far away from it. You can stop the taps until that matter is resolved. Even that other county assembly, how is it resourced? If people are meeting, it would be interesting to know how the purported clerk of that other House can draw from the Exchequer and meet their bills unless the Controller of Budget is not supporting the proper county assembly. Finally, is on this issue of the Housing Levy Fund that was raised by Sen. Chute. It will be important because we all contribute to this Fund and sometimes not very easily because these are deductions out of our salary. Kenya has 47 counties. I know this Fund is used to build houses and markets. It would be important that that statement is tabled in this House so that we can all see how much has gone to every county and the justification for the expenditure. We cannot portend a situation where certain counties have 20 markets and others have two or three only. It is important for equity. The Senate being the House that is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that there is an equal distribution of resources in this country; that is an interesting report that we are waiting. I thank you."

"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wanted to make a comment on the financial crisis at the Technical University of Kenya. In the Coast Province, we have very few public universities. The ones that are there, including the Technical University of Kenya in Mombasa, have served all the six counties of the coast, including people from my county in Tana River. They come all the way to Mombasa to get their education. It is very sad to hear from this Statement that this technical university is reducing its staff and cutting down on its expenditures. It is showing signs of a total financial crisis, suggesting that this is one of the few universities in the coast region that may be on the brink of collapse. As the Senate Committee on Education investigates this matter, it should also interrogate the Cabinet Secretary. Public universities have not been equally spread across the counties. We have seen certain counties enjoying a lot of facilities. You will find several public universities in one particular county or two, but in certain regions like in the coast region, you will find very few public universities."
