"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was almost going to depict a character that is not mine, because I only realised that my lights had gone off. As a result of that, I think Sen. Eddy should just stick to his seat, because the day has not been very favourable around him. Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this progress report with the amendments as approved. However, from onset, I want to say that the Nyamira County Assembly is a crime scene. What is happening there is unacceptable. When we reflect back to the role of the Senate, the Senate is here to represent the counties and to protect the interests of the counties and their governments. I am a teacher and there has long been this thinking around the leadership of schools. We used to say that the school is as good as the head and the head is as good as the school. I want to relate this to the County Government of Nyamira. The County Government of Nyamira has a head of a government and how Nyamira is run reflects on this head of government. The county assemblies perform constitutional functions, which are oversight, representation and legislation. They do this on behalf of the people that elected them. As we sit here, with the kind of scenario that is Nyamira, it means that the people of Nyamira are not adequately being represented. It means to me, that the executive or the County Government of Nyamira is not adequately being oversight and that the people of Nyamira are suffering. There is separation of powers. We have the Executive of Nyamira and we have the legislature. I call it a crime scene because it has been brought out in the report that we have an impeached Speaker and when one is impeached, it means they are out of office. I do not accept that an officer that has been impeached can send out gazette notices. Where does the speaker who is impeached get the powers to send out gazette notices? There is literally confusion that to me is by design, set out in the Nyamira County Assembly. The question I ask myself is this: Who is causing this confusion and for what reason? I began by saying there is a head of government in Nyamira. What is this head of government doing? Is it by design that this is a governor that does not want to be oversighted? Why does this governor encourage the running of a county without a legislative arm of government? Madam Temporary Speaker, it is unacceptable because we know the mandate that the county assembly has. The county assembly approves budgets, development plans and it even vets county executives. On their functionality, there are varied mandates that the"
