"content": " In conclusion, that is very useful information and a handicap we suffer. I tried to locate the report on our tablets, but I could not find it. We now have to respond based on what we have heard the Chair say. I listened to him, and he referenced certain orders. If that is the case, as Sen. Omogeni put it, then I will hold back my comments on what perhaps needs to happen regarding the judiciary’s actions on this matter. Lastly, as Sen. Omogeni suggests, this situation is about to worsen, bear in mind that this House has already passed a law granting financial autonomy to county assemblies. The situation will become even more serious. This is because county assemblies will be the ones determining how to allocate these funds. Imagine a situation where two county assemblies are fighting over a particular pool of funds. It would be undesirable. That is why, with tremendous respect to Sen. Abass and the team of the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, I have expressed concerns about the time taken to resolve this issue. I feel this House deserved better. It is unfortunate that 45 days later, we have an interim report with no clear mention of the final conclusion or timeline for resolving this matter. I just heard the Chairperson say that you are planning to visit and will return with this report. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in your wisdom as you work to resolve this matter, seek audience, either for the Committee or the Committee of the Whole with the Controller of Budget."

"content": "As I have said, among all the absurd statements made, the most concerning is the Chair’s revelation that the Controller of Budget claims she cannot determine which function of the Assembly is benefiting from these funds because she receives Exchequer requests directly from the county government. These funds are not sent to anyone in the county assembly. The Controller of Budget remains a key player in this dispute. I am beginning to wonder, Sen. Onyonka, given that the Controller of Budget comes from this county, could she be complicit in the conflict? I am just wondering. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe this is an issue that requires a formal determination. I know many colleagues wish to contribute to this matter, so I will conclude my remarks here. I thank you."

"content": "Mhe. Spika, pia mimi najiunga na Maseneta waliotangulia kuchangia Hoja hii kwamba yanayoendelea katika Kaunti ya Nyamira ni makosa. Hoja hii ilipokuja kwa mara ya kwanza, kabla ya Kamati kuambiwa ichunguze, suala hili lilikuja katika hali isiyokupendeza. Kuna bunge mbili katika Kaunti ya Nyamira yanayotoa mwongozo tofauti kwa serikali ya Kaunti ya Nyamira. Ni lazima Gavana wa Kaunti ya Nyamira alaumiwe kwa sababu yeye ndiye msimamizi mkuu wa mambo yote. Ijapokuwa Bunge la Kaunti lina nafasi ya kufanya maamuzi yake kibinafsi, masuala yote yanapitia katika meza yake. Ni aibu kwamba hata baada ya Kamati kwenda, mabunge yale mawili hayakuweza kuamua ni Bunge lipi halali. Tukiacha suala hili liendelee, litaenea katika Mabunge mengine. Vilevile, itakuwa shida kutatua. Kila mtu ataona kwamba ana haki ya kutoa Kenya Gazzete kwamba watakuwa na kikao mahali fulani huku wananchi wanapata shida na pesa za umma zinaendelea kufujwa. Kuna haja ya suala hili kutatuliwa kwa haraka. Ikiwa korti imesema hakuna amri ya kuzuia kubanduliwa kwa Spika aliyebanduliwa, ilhali yule spika mwengine ameshaapishwa, hakuna sababu ya kuwa na mabunge mawili. Tusubiri mahakama itakapoamua kesi hiyo. Tukiachana na suala hili, kuna siku tutasikia kuna Naibu Rais amefungua ofisi mahali fulani na anafanya kazi kwa wananchi wa Kenya akiwa na Wabunge wake. Asante, Mhe. Spika."
