    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a serious matter in Nyandarua County and it requires serious the attention of this Senate. This Senate needs to save Nyandarua County Assembly because it has not been operating for the last six months. Whichever Committee is going to deal with this matter - I presume it is the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations - should handle this matter with seriousness. What I am seeing is that there are squabbles within Nyandarua County Assembly. In 2018, they had a similar matter. They had disagreed and tried to impeach the Governor and the speaker, but nothing worked. As old people and because we are of age to sit down and decide on some cases, we agreed that we should never have infighting between the Nyandarua County Assembly its county executive or within the County Government itself. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have had issues with this County Assembly and they have gone to court more than 20 times. Judgments have been delivered by a court in Nakuru, but they have also not worked. That is why I say that this is not just another a matter that is coming to this House. It is a matter that has crippled the Nyandarua County Assembly from working. This matter requires many witnesses who know about this case. I volunteer to talk to the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations when they convene. Every person who is assumed to have information about the source of this infighting should be called by the Committee to give information. This matter cannot end by a few people talking to this Committee. It is deeper than we think. 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."
