The statement that he made is all over social media. Therefore, I do not have to repeat. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.58 to make a Personal Statement regarding inappropriate and disparaging remarks made by Abdi Ibrahim Hassan, Governor of Isiolo County, during Madaraka Day celebrations in Oldonyiro Ward, Isiolo North Constituency, on 1st June, 2025. As a Senator, my constitutional responsibility is to serve the people of Isiolo County, uphold transparency and ensure accountability in all county government operations. I am constitutionally tasked with exercising oversight of county government functions to safeguard the interests of the people of Isiolo County. The responsibility has come with great challenges, including inappropriate attacks on my character designed to deflect attention from the legitimate governance concerns that I raise from time to time in the House and also at the county level. This statement has been repeated twice. The first one was last year where---"

The Governor made crude and vulgar insinuations that are false, malicious and constitute a clear example of misogyny deployed to discredit women in leadership. Since the loss of my husband, I have conducted myself with dignity and continue to serve the people of Isiolo County with unwavering dedication. The residents of Isiolo County know my character and can attest to the diligence commitment and the honour I have demonstrated throughout my years of service."

During the celebrations, community representatives raised critical questions about patterns of over- promising and not delivering on development projects, specifically highlighting concerns about education relief and mismanagement of county funds.

This represents more than just an attack on a woman; it is an assault to women in public service and every sphere where our voices challenge the status quo. These tactics are designed to humiliate and silence us, discourage accountability and maintain systems that resist democratic participation."

Finally, I wish to reaffirm my unwavering commitment to serve the people of Isiolo County with dignity, transparency and accountability they deserve. No amount of political bullying or character assassination will deter me from my constitutional oversight duties. I thank you, though I felt limited as far as this matter is concerned because what the Governor said touched on my character. If I am not allowed to say much, then it also discriminates on my right. The House should look at Standing Order No.101 to allow us to discuss these matters. However, let me tell the people of Isiolo County that I am ready, whatever it takes. There is so much intimidation that is going on. This guy has killed that county. He is unfit to hold an office in any part of this country and something needs to be done. I have said this severally. In fact, yesterday, he insulted the Chairperson of the National Gender Equality Commission (NGEC) when she posted something on her Twitter page. Clearly, this man has no respect for anybody within that county. I hope this House will amend Standing Order No.101, in future, so as to allow us to discuss such governors. There is the issue of drugs. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this guy is supplying drugs within Isiolo County and our youth are being killed by these drugs. It is shameful the security agencies are sleeping on their job."
