    "content": "(5) That under the patronage of Governor Francis Thuita Kimemia, all the police agents in the county, including the County Commissioner, have ensured that the Speaker together with the Members of the County Assembly aligned to him and almost the entire staff establishment cannot access the Assembly buildings, their offices and Chamber thereof. (6) That the security agents have been allowing armed thugs/goons into the County Assembly building and Chamber with the intention of causing harm to the Speaker. (7) That the security agents have ensured that the County Assembly Service Board cannot have the contracted security firm operate at the Assembly and have also denied the Board to implement its resolutions to change the locks at the Assembly building and Chamber as the keys thereof are in the hands of strangers. (8) That the person in charge of the County Government Press, Mr. Mwendwa Njoka who Governor Kimemia boast of having employed, has been allowing complete strangers to publish illegal and unauthorized information which is causing more confusion in the Assembly and the entire County Government. (9) That with the help of the Governor of Nyandarua County and the police, the Speaker’s official vehicle and that of the Clerk Mr. Gideon Muchiri are being driven by strangers without an insurance cover and under the escort of the police. The vehicles assigned to the Speaker is being used by the Governor’s family while that of the Clerk is being used by the Deputy Speaker who are not authorized to use them. This has been reported at the Ol Kalou Police Station and to the Government vehicle check unit, but no action has been taken so far. (10) That the entire County Government of Nyandarua under the Governor has been criminalized and the Constitution, the Law and the court orders do not apply. (11) That the Speaker, Members of the County Assembly, the board and staff have not had salaries and other allowances for the last four months and others for as many as ten months as Governor Francis Kimemia has restrained his County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Finance and Economic Development from forwarding the same to the Controller of Budget. (12) That it is expected that for the few months that the Speaker, the Board and the Clerk had been illegally kept away from the Assembly, there has been massive looting and misappropriation of public funds running into hundreds of millions of Kenya shillings. (13) That efforts have been made to have this matter resolved, but have not been successful. The Petitioner, therefore, prays that the Senate investigates these issues and - a. Intervenes and ensure that the County Assembly of Nyandarua resumes normalcy and operates at optimum as the same has remained locked down since 29th April 2021 and has operated illegally and against court orders for the very few times that it has sat.
