    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, let me thank Sen. Wetangula for bringing this important Statement. The so-called impending shutdown of counties by the Chairman of the CoG is a joke. Gov. Oparanya is behaving like a trade unionist. We know that all trade unions in this country--- If the biggest of them is not performing as required, we will fail very badly. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Senate does not share its mandate with anybody. The CoG has no business in trying to tell this Senate what to do. The Senate is here under Article 96 of the Constitution to defend counties. We are doing that. Last year or the year before, they forced us behind our back to accept the Division of Revenue Bill, which was actually not what we wanted. They go behind our back, go to bed with the Executive and make sure that they deny the counties money. This year, we are trying our best to make sure that the counties get enough money. The delay is caused by lack of money. Therefore, we are doing our best. Here they are, going round and saying that the Senate is not doing their business. We do not share our job with him. Let him do his business. He cannot shutdown any county. He is not in charge of any other counties. The County of Mandera, led by my Governor, Hon. Ali Roba, is independent of Kakamega County. This idea of being a unionist should be stopped. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
